I have had several successful QSOs via the Space Station APRS repeater
(ARISS). I use DireWolf and UISS software. The UISS software allows you to
set up macros to send short messages via packet. Put your call, name, and
grid square in there. You send that, get a confirmation from the other
station and they send their info, then you send a confirmation back.
A digital satellite QSO in a matter of seconds.
You really need to listen carefully so you don't send in the middle of
another person's packet to prevent packet collisions.
It doesn't always work, but when it does it work, it's pretty cool.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Using Cheap radios for Sats ( and APRS)
Message-ID: <1d8b3e7eb34201db1471c4d07f2c5326@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
http://aprs.org/ani.html
With the development of QIKCOM-2 APRS DTMF satellite*, we have found a way
to encode ANY ham call 3 character suffix into the 5 digit ANI codes of
all those cheap radios. And hence, we can use the ANI to place anyone on
the APRS map locally and globally. And knowing who is on the air when,
where and on what frequency is what APRS brings to Ham radio.
This project is part of the overall APRStt, TouchTone project to allow
anyone to use any radio for APRS contact and visibility. Especially the
cheap Chinese radios.
Here is how it works:
. User makes VOICE ID and his ANI goes out when he releases PTT
. Other repeater users do not hear the DTMF ANI because repeater output
is typically muted.
. APRS-ANI engine ($50 gizmo) at the repeater receiver decodes the ANI
. That repeater APRS-ANI engine has a list of all known callsigns (and
their suffix) in that area
. APRS-ANI engine responds with SPOKEN CALLSIGN (if needed) for feedback
. APRS-ANI engine sends out APRS packet on national APRS channel as
follows:
. It is from your full call like any other APRS packet
. It shows WHEN you keyed the radio (real time) and were on the air
. It includes the FREQUENCY and PL of the repeater
. It includes any ID or BRAG text associated with that repeater
. Your POSITION shows on every APRS radio locally and every map in the
world in a table near the repeater
And THAT is what APRS is all about. Facilitating human-to-human contact by
providing situational awareness of everything going on in Ham radio in the
area.
What we need: We already have all the pieces needed to do this. We just
need to get organized to do it more efficiently. I have working models of
the APRS-ANI engine using just the DTMF chip and a Byonics TinyTrack4. But
here are some things that can help speed this along:
. Programming your ANI radio: Daniel KB3MUN has a good summary on these
radios. http://aprs.org/aprstt/DTMF-China.html
. CALL/Suffix lists: Need a Smart parser that can take ANY club roster in
ANY format and output a simple list of nothing but callsigns in .TXT
format for the local ANI engine to use for suffix correlation to full
calls.
. Tweaking DTMF decoders (such as Byonics) to follow the high speed ANI
codes (hardware solution)
. All repeater developers to add this to their Controllers! (software
solution)
And this is just the beginning of what we can do with DTMF and APRS. See

The Vega rocket has been cleared for launch overnight with Europe's LISA
Pathfinder technology demo mission, a probe heading to a station a million
miles from Earth to test systems for a future gravitational wave
observatory. Liftoff from French Guiana is set for 0404 GMT Thursday (11:04

rocket ...
Video will be webstreamed on www.arianespace.tv starting 20 minutes prior to
launch.
Spaceflightnow.com says they'll also cover the launch at:
http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/12/02/vv06-mission-status-center/ and they
also provide blog updates during the preparations for launch.
Have fun ...

Hi all,
Unfortunately Marco (CU7BC) had a massive rain cell over his area (the
kind the temperature drops around 6?F in 2 minutes) about half way AO-7
pass. I could hear his whistle trying to lock on the downlink when
suddenly he vanished.
I was on the frequency with Frank K4FEG and KB1RVT, and called him
several times. The downlink was very good, and I had a first on SATs for
me - a "chat" with Frank rather then a quick QSO. I ended up calling
Marco's cell phone to figure out the rain had caused flooding.
Later on XW-2F there was no contacts from the East Coast. But I got both
of our CQ calls on tape. Check it out at
http://plus2.dutrasousa.name/CU7BC.mp3 so you can now know what to
"look" for.
I'll keep everyone posted of future activities, while I'm still trying
to get 3 other guys into the birds.
