As mentioned in a previous Bulletin from ZL2TZE the Digipeater TNC is
operational on board the International Space Station (ISS) .. A few of us
seem to have been able to have some sucsess here in VK .. Its definitly
there and it certainly works..
Heres the Heard list from todays passes in Adealide..
Times are local.

A few brief hellos have been exchanged using UI packets.
The TNC has had some problems on ISS and without going into details its
currently running on default load parameters. Hence the NOCALL callsign.
Here is some information off the ARISS web page for those interested in
trying it out..
(Thanks to Bob Bruninga WB4APR, and Roy Neal K6DUE)
ISS is now digipeating packets via the UNPROTO call of NOCALL.
Uplink is 145.99 and downlink is 145.80.
Here is how to operate via ISS!
1) Do not attempt a connection to any other station. It is a fruitless
exercise and only adds QRM to a very busy channel.
2) ANY TNC:
Set UNPROTO to CQ VIA NOCALL.
Then go to converse, and TYPE greetings or messages to others that you see
on the downlink...
If you see your packet digipeated via NOCALL, so did everyone else...
SHARING THE BAND.
If you see your OWN packet digipeated (MY PACKET) then everyone else in the
country also saw you, so no need to repeat that packet for at least 2 or 3
minutes.
