++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ 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. ARISS can only suggest; never demand. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++

There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having direct contacts on the 40 meter band. There is no HF radio equipment on board and available yet. The HF antenna is mounted. Sometimes WA3NAN will retransmit shuttle audio.
