Well I hear a lot (it was a W->NW->N pass at a 21 degreeish max elevation) but I can't seem to beacon myself. I have set my PATH to Others/ARISS. I see some have used ARISS,WIDEN-n but I don't see the need. Is there anything else I have to do? My beacon is set again to TX 30 seconds AUTO. I constantly try a Quick Beacon with the TH-72A but I can't really tell if it send it. Also, to send a message via the ISS what is the address? I have been using RS0ISS-4 based on packets received. Any comments before 4:20EST would be appreciated as I have one more really good high elevation pass then... 73 -aps _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
