I have been looking into using the APRS digipeater on the ISS to send
txt messages. Is this possible? I go hiking and camping a lot, and
it would be cool to at least digipeat through the ISS. What would be
even better is an email sat. Store and forward to gatway stations
that relay emails like winlink does. This would be great for
outbackers and people in developing areas that don't have this
ability. The gateway station could approve and foreward inbound email
too so that way the messages are sent like 3rd party traffic. No spam
and junk like that.
Just a Thought,

it's one way only but good enough for checkin messages, there are enough
monitoring stations to cover most needs, africa might be a bit hard at
places but even there, there should be posibileties.
