[sarex] Ham ISS working conditions

["Claudio Ariotti - IK1SLD" <claudio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

yesterday I received a Valery's message from ISS regarding Ham station
onboard.
I asked him about packet radio activation and future of SSTV and he sent me
these few lines from Space.

Maybe next year we'll can receive images from Space :) but it's very
important to have Amateur Radio Operator as VALERY onboard.
The Commander is spending all the free time to talk with us and to read and
reply the messages on the active BBS.
