[amsat-bb] ISS Beaconator

[Jeff]

Clayton, I just closely  looked at Dan's transmissions as appeared on the 
DIGI'd ARISS site and see that he is for some reason transmitting a bit too 
much. At first  I only looked at your email. I know he doesn't run 
unattended, so I don't know what he is doing. Us old guys lose it, it's just 
a matter of time, you will see in 30 years :-)  I will try and contact him 
to see what's going on....

Here's what I found on APRS.FI...

2017-04-18 17:24:54 EDT: N3FCX>DJFT2R,RS0ISS*,qAR,NZ4D-6:'g.7l <0x1c>#/]SP=

He should of saw his first TX that got DIGI'd, but maybe for some reason he 
didn't, I don't see why, but I also don't know why this indicates that this 
is the end of the world, but will look into it, best I can..

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.
