RE: [sarex] ISS Packet operations?

[Robert Lawrence <rlawrence@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually Bill that's not quite correct.  AMSAT is requesting that people do
not connect to the personal message system on ISS.  This does not mean that
you can't digipeat through the system.  However the packet system has been
inadvertently left off, but it should be reset in the near future as work
load permits.

The answer is at http://www2.arrl.org/news/stories/2003/01/09/1/?nc=1 under 
"Packet users requested to not send e-mail messages to ISS crew"

I do not want to repost the text here because it is copyrighted material and

the ARRL frowns on people doing so.  But in a nutshell, the AMSAT folks say 
not to send any packet to the ISS at this time and no pacet is expected.

 I have heard Don Pettit on voice since then so it must
 not be the radio.
 
 Also, Thanks to all that responded to my request for
 contacts via the ISS digi. I now have the 60 contacts
 required for the AMSAT sexagesimal award and am
 waiting for the last 7 cards (MT, VT, CT, WY, VE2, VE6
 and Honduras) to come in. If anybody needs Texas via
 ISS, drop me a line.
