ISS packet still off
I tried to digipeat and connect to the ISS tonight on 145.825 simplex using many callsigns and nothing got through or connected.
Looking forward to some visual sightings tommorow night or soon, weather permitting.
I saw the school contact on cspan tonight. Great to watch the astronauts having fun with the kids.
Seems they were using an internet link through nasa to the challenger center near DC.
Good night, pat n2oeq
The amateur radio equipment is always off when spacewalks are taking place, and, IIRC, during docking and undocking maneuvers.

When ISS does come back on packet, where should I be looking for it?
I'm currently set on the the "old" standard pair with 145.800 downlink....but I've seen some indications that 145.825 is in use simplex. If I want to keep an eye on things, where should I have the receiver set?

145.825 simplex is where it is heard when it is on.
