WinMain:2011-10-16T02:48:53.558 KO6TH-7>ISS l{I
WinMain:2011-10-16T02:48:53.561 ISS>KO6TH-7(Kenwood D7) Az:65 El:12 
LOS:2:30m
WinMain:2011-10-16T02:48:58.538 KO6TH-7>ISS Message received
WinMain:2011-10-16T02:48:58.539 ISS>KO6TH-7(Kenwood D7) Az:65 El:12 
LOS:2:25m

At least you've got a good IGate in range of your D7!
