I make unproto APRS QSO's on ISS all the time to one of the few LIVE
stations in the foot print. We can send each other 2 lines each and
then wait 92 minutes for the next pass to continue. Wish there
weren't so many automated station on there. I like NO-44 currently
because most of the stations are live and when I say hi, I get a hi
back.
