IN LIGHT OF SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE VARIOUS BULLETIN
BOARDS; THE COMMENTS BELOW STILL HOLD TRUE: 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lately there have been some comments on the various bulletin boards about having general contacts or leaving the packet or crossband repeater on.  Remember that ARISS is a guest onboard the ISS and if the crew elects to not turn something on or to operate, then that is their decision.  ARISS can only suggest; never demand.

****************************************************************************

There  have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having 
direct contacts  on the 40 meter band.  There is no HF radio equipment on board 
and available yet.  The HF antenna is mounted.  Sometimes WA3NAN will 
retransmit shuttle audio.
