Gents,
since 145.800 is not operational on ISS at the moment (as of 11.August)
can
anyone gate the APRS-traffic from PCSAT2, which is also attached to ISS.
Downlink would be 435,275

I will qsy and transmit on 145.825FM.
tnx experimenting

Mike,
they are experimenting with SSTV on the ISS downlihk.
SO maybe the packet will not be reliable?  Maybe you
could try QSY to the 145.825 PCSAT2 uplink.  It uses
the same path of VIA ARISS.  The downlink is on
435.275, and you will not hear it, but hopefully an
IGate station might.  But then I do not know if ayone
down under has an IGate listening to PCSAT2.  it is waek.

Sure, just look at the donwlink on www.ariss.net.  Look at the raw
packets at the bottom.  If they are more than an hour or so old,
then probably the digi is off.  THough there are some parts in the
orbit that have no satgates.  So, more like 6 hours.

The path should be VIA ARISS.  But I had requested that
REPLAY and WIDE and APRSAT also work.  DOnno if they all
do or not.

Oh yes, and down there in austrailia, they want the packets
to also have a WIDE on the end, so that some satgates can
simply digipeat over to their APRS freuency and from there
it goes into the APRS IS....
