RE: [amsat-bb] APRS on ISS, the saga continues

What is your callsign and SSID?  Have you tried looking it up on findu.com
to see if you have been gated by a SatGate?  Maybe you are getting in but
have just not heard a digipeat of your packet yet.

Power is not the problem. I regularly get into the digi with 25W 
into either a collinear j-pole or crossed Moxon rectangles. 

Are you positive you are actually transmitting on 145.990? 

Late night and weekday daytime passes are easier than evening as 
there is less competition.

I have been heard and not seen my own packet digipeated. If you 
gave your call, maybe some one would report seeing you. I won't 
be able to look until late next week due to my work schedule.
