<html><div>Thanks for that Info:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I recently installed a dedicated Vertical for SAT use: </div>
<div>It is readily available to order on HomeDepot . Com, and it's a GREAT deal.</div>
<div>A Tram; 1481 Dual Band 144/440 Vertical. (about $75!; a copy of Diamond)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Despite this fact, I have yet to get INTO anything that passes</div>

<div>(for one)<br>I have copied most anything in the past six months, but as you found, the ISS Station is basically DEAD....well, that explains why I haven't copied THAT one.</div>
<div>I have an AEA PK-900 set up with local APRS on Port 2, and SAT Frequency; 145.825MHz set up on Port1.</div>
<div>NOTHING Gates to the local Network; 144.390. Can't figure out why.</div>

A fellow<br>ham was able to get his ping returned about 2 months ago which gave me<br>hope!<br><br>The last few weeks, I've planned my days around ISS passes and haven't<br>heard a peep. Yesterday I found this:<br><br><https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html></div>
<div><br>Current Status of ISS Stations<br>as of 02/20/2020<br><br>Columbus Module radios:<br><br> Ericsson VHF- Packet system stopped working (2/15).<br> Ericsson UHF- Stowed.<br><br> MarconISSta - Temp. stowed.<br><br>Looks like my odds of working the ISS are NIL at this point, but does<br>anyone have an idea how long the ISS will be down? I've dug around here<br>but I really have not found any real "radio space news".. Hopefully<br>someone here might know a little more.<br><br>Until then, my pings will remain "GROUNDED" :)<br><br>73<br>j<br><br><br>-- <br><br>wishing you well<br>Jaye, ke6sls--<br>_</div></html>
