[amsat-bb] Newbie Questions - ISS

[Scott]

Jackie,

The repeater on ISS has not been active for some time.  145.825 MHz is active for APRS packet.  If you have a APRS enabled HT you can beacon through ISS and also send messages. Alias of ARISS.  Also if you get lucky and find the astronauts active on the radio check 145.800 MHz with a 144.490 MHz uplink.  A -1.31 offset.   I will be on this pass as well.
