I have definitely not seen any evidence of activity on 145.825 for
the last day or two here in central Michigan. View my satgate

You will also notice a junk ISS object being gated to the APRS-IS by
M3EAV. It's not only off by about 2000 miles, it's being gated
onto RF with a path of RELAY,WIDE3-3 !! Further, it's announcing
the station's speed as being 1149 MPH when it's more like 17,000
MPH. (I guess it's the limitation of the APRS speed field being
limited to 999 Knots.) It does though make for an impressively
long but totally bogus leader on the satellite symbol. Actual
packets are:<br>
<br>
@ Out of Range, ETA 18:47<br>
<br>
M3EAV>RELAY,M1ABD-3*,MB7UP*,WIDE3-1,qAR,MB7USC:<br>
;ISS (ZARY*211834z2157.87N\07954.15WS039/999@ Out of Range, ETA
18:47<br>
<br>
What is the point of announcing "ETA 18:47" to the whole world
without even stating from where or what time zone ?????<br>
