Half a dozen or more posts on Ariss status the last couple of days, all with school contact details ad nauseum. No information what-so-ever on anything else. Like why is the digi suddenly off? When will it be on again? Perhaps they're setting up the SSTV?
I have no doubt there is a good reason, so why aren't we being told?
I posted a link on the ISS Fan club site. It basically pointed to my twitter link that indicated that the radio had been powered down for the progress 34 undocking. The amateur radio gear is required to be powered off for any vehicle activity associated with the Russian segment and all EVA events.

Many Thanks, I guessed there'd be a reason. Shame it's not more efficiently promulgated through the mailing list. I guess I'll look to the ISS FAn Club site for future info.
Again, thank you!

It would be a full time job keeping the status of the ISS up to date and even then it is not always clear why the radio has been turned off. Checking the following to get a decent idea of what is going on in near real-time. http://www.issfanclub.com/ http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php http://twitter.com/RF2Space
