[sarex] Re: ISS status

[Ransom, Kenneth G. (JSC-OC)[BARRIOS TECHNOLOGY]]

I posted a link on the ISS Fan club site. It basically pointed to my twitter link that indicated that the radio had been powered down for the progress 34 undocking. The amateur radio gear is required to be powered off for any vehicle activity associated with the Russian segment and all EVA events.

Half a dozen or more posts on Ariss status the
last couple of days, all with school contact
details ad nauseum. No information what-so-ever on
anything else. Like why is the digi suddenly off?
When will it be on again? Perhaps they're setting
up the  SSTV?

I have no doubt there is a good reason, so why
aren't we being told?
