[amsat-bb] ISS Beaconator

[Clayton Coleman]

Jeff, I encourage you to look more closely at the packets in my
original email and at the raw packets on ARISS.net.  I copied those
packets directly via RF which means all of them were being digitpeated
by the ISS when I decoded them. They were being seen by anyone in the
footprint and picked up by other IGATE stations.  Secondly, I was
running a passive IGATE, forwarding what I received to the APRS-IS.
Based on your statement, if I took down my IGATE, should the other
station transmit more often?

My posting of those packets was not meant to insult anyone or cause
any embarrassment. I posted what I received at my station. Readers can
draw whatever conclusions their hearts desire. I didn't insult anyone
by license class, their goals, etc. Call my email ridiculous if you
will, but it is not my station broadcasting packets via the ISS every
5-10 seconds when in the footprint.
