[OZAPRS] Findu can find me..

I believe there is a tendancy "down under" to DIGIPEAT 
ISS and PCsat packets over onto 144.39 FIRST so
that then they can get into the IGate system.  As I have
said over and over, that doesnt work for the APRS-IS!

Once it hits 144.39, it enters an IGate as having been
digipeated TERRESTRIALLY instead of via RS0ISS*
thus FINDU nor WWW.ARISS.NET does not see the
RS0ISS*.

So you need dedicated ISS SATGATES.  Do not rely on
the digiepating-to-39 crutch that currently seems to be
in heavy use down there...     Bob

Well here is a classic example of what doesnt work..

This morning I captured this.. It was 10:38 local time..

10:38:28R VK5AH-3>APRS,RS0ISS-3*,SGATE,WIDE Port=2 <UI R Len=39>:
!3452.27S/13838.90Er vk5ah at bigpond.com 

10:38:31R VK5AH-3>APRS,RS0ISS-3*,VK5AH*,VK5RNE-1* Port=1 <UI R
Len=39>:
!3452.27S/13838.90Er vk5ah at bigpond.com 

10:38:32R VK5AH-3>APRS,RS0ISS-3*,VK5AH*,VK5RSC-1* Port=1 <UI R
Len=39>:
!3452.27S/13838.90Er vk5ah at bigpond.com 

That was via UIviews digi and the sound card..  No sign of this on
Findu.com
at all  http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?VK5AH-3 

The last posit up there was 5-6 days ago via 3JTMs setup from what I
can
tell..

And forget it on the ARISS web page Map  http://www.ariss.net/ 

Our Igate sees these frames OK but Ive no idea why It doesnt seem to
carry
through the systems.. I logged Ui-View onto
the aprs.net.au 10151 port to try and get a history dump but didnt see
anything from vk5ah-3 there.. I am also sharing these findings with
the
local Igate operators..
