Thanks, Bob. It worked perfectly. I am sorry I did not get a chance to
report back, but I had company come over right after the pass. Very
exciting, but my wife did not understand the significance of what I had
done -- even though it means I would be able to email her from anywhere
when I am out exploring.
Thanks,
Chris

Yep, anywhere on the planet except the poles assuming:
1) There are enough IGates listening on 145.825
2) The ISS APRS Digipeater continues to work.

As far as that is concerned. I am Physics teacher. Due to budget
cuts, I was bumped down to the middle school this year. I am hoping
to land a job as the Physics teacher at the new high school opening in
our district. If I get it, I will be in search of STEM grants to get
for my students and I to build a pico sat. If this is doable, I would
have digital capabilities in the forefront of my mind. Heck, building
a bird with a simple digi does not seem like it would be SUPER hard.
Bob, I have actually met you in person and the AMSAT symposium in San
Diego. That was a few years ago. I think 1999 or 2000. I was so
impressed by the PacSats I learned a ton about Linux and networking
trying to decode those sats with software (I was too poor to afford
the hardware at the time). It is good to correspond with you again.
Thanks,
Chris Maness
