ARISS contacts on a single expedition as well as  the most for multiple 
missions.  (***)


Crossband  repeater and packet have been active! Don’t forget to do Doppler 
correction for  the crossband repeater!
Don’t forget the keyword here is Repeater.   Repeaters have the FM capture 
effect.  Strongest into the machine wins  momentarily. 

Expedition 18 has now set the record for ARISS  contacts by an expedition. 

Total number of ARISS ISS to earth  school contacts is 426. (***)
Total number of ARISS supported terrestrial  contacts is 22.
