In addition to the information already posted, last Monday the CBC
(Canadian Broadcasting Corp) show "AS IT HAPPENS" had a ~6 minute audio
piece on the Humber College/VA3JUV contact with a very enthusiastic
Sandra Magnus (KE5FYE) on the ISS end. Here in the Balto/Wash area, AS
IT HAPPENS is carried on WAMU (88.5).
To listen to the AIH audio, fetch this CBC .wmv file
<http://www.cbc.ca/mrl3/8752/asithappens/20090202-aih-1.wmv> & QSY to
a time ~16:50. The ISS audio is really great at ~21:30. ARISS is
referred to as an "offshoot of NASA" at ~18:40 and "ham radio" is
mentioned once.
73, Tom

A group of Mexican hams will operate from grid DL94 near the town of
Galeana, in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon (south of Texas) starting
at 0100 UTC Saturday (7 February 2008) through 1600 UTC Sunday (8
February 2008). This group is planning on working FM satellites as
well as the linear-transponder satellites (VO-52, FO-29, AO-7). They
plan on trying to work through the ISS, if it is available.
Along with the planned satellite operating, they may also be on VHF
SSB (around 50.120-50.125 MHz USB and 144.200 MHz USB) and might also
be active during this weekend's Mexican RTTY contest on HF.
The group is made up of the following operators:
XE2MVS Orlando Salinas
XE2NRG Jos? de Los Reyes
XE2NS Alfonso Tamez
XE2YBG Benigno Gomez
XE2YOM Oscar Mart?nez
and Jes?s Carranza (not currently licensed, but interested in ham radio)
XE2MVS, XE2NS, and XE2YBG are experienced satellite operators. They
will be happy to make QSOs with stations hoping to work the very rare
grid DL94 this weekend. Please be sure to use the international
phonetic alphabet and digits (i.e., "four-three" instead of "forty-
three" to say 43), so they are able to clearly understand your English.
Good luck, and 73!

Hi Gang,
Does anyone know why the Unproto Path seems to change from day to day? Last
Friday evening it was "RS0ISS-3." Then a few days later it was "RS0ISS-4."
I have been advised to simply enter "ARISS" in my D-700 path statement and I
should be okay, but I have not made an APRS contact since doing so. My
inquisitive nature needs an answer as to why the Path keeps changing. Could
I enter all the above path statements to be certain? Any and all info will
be greatly appreciated.
I monitored 145.825 MHz on a few passes over the eastern USA yesterday and
did not hear any packet data. Also attempted to call NA1SS on
145.800/144.490, hoping that perhaps Mike was off duty and enjoying a few
QSO's. Nothing heard. Is there any one website where we can get up-to-the
minute news and info, or must I just go with trial and error attempts and
hope to get lucky with making a voice contact? I was able to confirm a
couple of contacts during the 25th Anniversary event, but want more and
more!
Sincerely & 73,
Harry ~ KC2OJN

Good Morning:
I cant answer your question directly but I know that the advice to use
simply ARISS for the path works fine. And if I recall, that advice was
given by the father of APRS, Bob Bruninga so it should be good :) Must
be some other issue in the setup giving you trouble.

At one time I thought the Path indicated the bands that were in use,
sometimes split frequency, sometimes in one band and out the other...
Perhaps Ken can confirm that...

Sure, On the ARISS PACKET system, you get up-to-the-second info
on the APRS page:
www.ariss.net
It shows you the last 100 or so stations and packets heard via
ISS.
Just look at the AGE column and it shows TIME since last
packets. If the age is more than a few hours, you can guess that
ISS packet mode is off, or it is not currently over a ham radio
populated area.
Can't get any more up-to-date than that.
For example, yesterday we had not seen a packet in 19 hours or
so (the system was off) and today, then we are seeing packets,
so it is ON.

The D700 supports multiple configurations. The different IDs are assigned to
the various modes. The most common mode now is PKT mode which utilizes RS0ISS-
4. Another mode is APRS mode which is RS0ISS-4. During 9600 baud ops, the ID
was RS0ISS-5. ARISS is the alias assigned to all modes so you don't have to
constantly change.
