I personally haven't tried to do APRS from an HT on the ISS.  I used to get a few lucky packets through PCSAT back when it was working well but up until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't heard the ISS in packet mode in some time.  I'd say keep trying.  Sometimes you'll get lucky and can get a packet through.  You may need to go with a yagi, though...

Good luck!
