[OZAPRS] APRS and the space station

[David Hopkins]

Gentlemen,
In a week or so time I will be driving from Brisbane to Sydney via the New

England Highway for up to a fortnights holiday in and around Sydney.

I have installed a Kenwood TM-D700 in the car. As I will loose repeaters 
upon leaving Brisbane and I don't think I will see another one until just 
north of Sydney I was going to try and use the repeater on the Space
Station.

Is there a published schedule as to when the RS0ISS-3 repeater is
operational?
I haven't heard anything from it yesterday (Friday) or today.

What is the preferred "packet path" to use.

On Wednesday and Thursday I attempted to use ARISS,SGATE,WIDE. I could
hear 
the Space station at good signal strength but it could not hear me.

I have set the radio up to try ARISS,SGATE,WIDE but haven't heard the 
station since.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

David
