Sil, ZL2CIA, reports to ANS:
Those of you who like to run Sgates will be pleased to know that the ISS
digi
is active again and handling APRS traffic.
I successfully passed a number of packets via the station this evening. (see
below).
Ironically, it has probably never been turned off - it just looked that way.
The problem is simply that the Rx on the ISS has been tuned to a different
frequency than that listed.
The current configuration is
Downlink 145.800 MHz (with Dopler)
Uplink 145.825 MHx (with Doppler)
Digi Callsign is RS0ISS-3
Please send any confirmations to ans-editor@amsat.org.

Emily, W0EEC has created a website to allow the users of AO-7 to record
contacts, observations and use of the satellite more effectively at
http://www.experthams.net/ao7
This includes the ability to log contacts.
Tim, K3TZ has written a program to decode AO-07 telemetry. The program can
be downloaded at:

Status: Operational
Off the AO-27 webpage at http://www.ao27.org:
February 6th, 2004 UTC
The on-board watchdogs have turned the scheduler off. This was expected
as the
last few days of telemetry have shown lower battery voltages. We will be
downloading the Whole Orbit Data and looking at why the voltage is lower. I
will send a new schedule up as soon as we know what happened. Keep in mind
that AO-27 is in its 11th year on orbit. If you hear the telemetry, please
don't try to uplink, you will only cause interference to the command
stations
The latest information on AO-27 from control operator Michael Wyrick,
N3UC (former N4USI), can be found at: http://www.ao27.org
An AO-27 question-and-answer page is available on the AMSAT-NA web
site, with updates by Ray, W2RS. The URL is:
