I put a couple of posits through ISS while in WA. I was stationary, so
once I'd heard my posits being digipeated (and presumable being picked
up by an Igate), I'd achieved getting my position out for all to see.  I
didn't see the point in beaconing any further. 
I'm wondering what was your reasoning for beaconing every 30 seconds?
