IN LIGHT OF SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE VARIOUS BULLETIN BOARDS; THE COMMENTS BELOW STILL HOLD TRUE: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ Lately there have been some comments on the various bulletin boards about having general contacts or leaving the packet or crossband repeater on. Remember that ARISS is a guest onboard the ISS and if the crew elects to not turn something on or to operate, then that is their decision. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++
