Fair questions...so I will try to answer...
If the Packet system is on, voice will not be on...either direct to the
shuttle or the FM repeater.
If the Packet system is off...
There could be a space walk
They could be docking or undocking
As was recently noted...they could be using/testing the 143 mhz system
They could have shut the radio off for numerous other reasons
...and they could have forgotten to turn it back on (or chose not to)
or they MAY be in one of the voice modes...
Juat a note...the Packet system is not just for APRS...there are may who
two way communicate using UNPROTO
The repeater system is just that....split VHF and UHF...if it is up you
should be able to hear yourself in the downlink...if you don't hear
yourself, don't continue to talk...you might just be making a mess for
someone who can get in...the repeater sounds like any other FM Satellite
repeater...
Direct to the ISS...there are two VHF uplink frequencies...occasionally
the astronauts listen to the wrong one for the Zone you are in...not
many "defined" Zone demarcations in space...the same with them listening
on 145.800 and 145.825. I have also talked with them 435 up / 2 meters
down. I believe that sometime in the way past, they ended up listening
on the 143 frequency...tempting but still out of band ;-)
Calling "CQ" using many CQ's in the call as on the low bands is
typically poor form on FM...you are either audible or not...so a simple
"ISS this is W1XYZ" or "CQ ISS" or "Space Station this is W1XYZ in
Colorado" will suffice (use one of their many callsigns if you
like)....no answer...give it a minute or two, watch your pass
predictions and begin and end accordingly.
Anyway...that's how I would do it...YMMV
BTW..."bad form" would probably be defined as irritating to
others...unless you are making a spectical of yourself, the ones you
should consider are are your fellow satellite hams close to home who
have to listen to you direct.

Is this a good time for EME comm. ? Moon seems right for it , but never
tried it . Is psk31 possible ? What freq. ? Orbitron says 145.000 ? Going to
send cq throughout the day via PSK 31 on 145.000. Maybe a waste of time .

A new schedule was uploaded to AO-27 last Saturday, May 28th...?
If you are using the Java schedule lister, make sure you update your data
files!

145.000 is not a good choice of frequency. It is a repeater input frequency.
