Re: [amsat-bb] Question to Sat ops about ISS

[kb9cry@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Personally I'm a sat newbie and haven't yet gotten around to doing digital sat 
work but I'm frustrated in working ISS voice.  I call and call and get no 
response and never know when they are or are going to be active.  Be nice to 
have a sked but maybe that's an impossibility given their primary mission.
