Its easy.  Use any AX.25 1200 baud packet system on 145.825 MHz when the
ISS comes over several tiems a day and send this packet:

URCALL>APRS,ARISS::EMAIL....:UREMAIL@xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx hi world this is
me.

The first part is the header built by  your packet modem or software
showin your SENDING call, the destination address of APRS and the VIA path
of ARISS.

The body of the packet must begin with :EMAIL....:
Which tells APRS it is a "message format.  The extra 4 dots shoule be
spaces to pad the message address field out to a total of 9 characters.

Then immediately following that is the body of an APRS message.  In this
case, to have it become email, you have to begin the message with the
FIRST "word" being the complete email address.  In the example, I wrote
that as UREMAIL@xxxxxxxx>WHATEVER

And then after a space to separate it, is your actual text of your email.

All of this is in one packet, and the sum total of the length of y our
email address and the text of yoru email must fit in the APRS message size
of I think it is 67 bytes.

CAVEAT:  All of the above assumes the ISS is on 145.825 MHz (I think it is
not.  I think It is now on 437.550 MHz which requires you to track Doppler
in a complicated fashion stepping up in transmit frequency while at the
same time stepping down in frequency for receive during the pass.

Also it assumes the global APRS "EMAIL" engine is on line and working...

ALSO it assumes the ISS digipeater address is still working as ARISS.  If
not, you may have to use the actual call of RS0ISS if that is what it is.

Search for APRS EMAIL and you should be able to find something.

Bob, WB4APR

"It's easy" followed by "use any AX.25 1200 baud packet system" makes
sense to you experienced hams, but that covers a lot of new ground for
me.

Right now, my only transmitter is an HT. I have successfully built at
least one antenna for it for handheld use. I have not been particularly
successful in using fldigi to talk to it.

I think to follow your instructions, I would need a chain something like
this:

    computer with ax.25 software <-> fldigi <-> HT
        <-> some unknown antenna

Does that sound reasonable? I assume the stock antenna will be basically
worthless here, is there a suggestion about what I should use? Something
non-tracking would be ideal.

There's definitely ax.25 software available to me, but I haven't
explored it at all nor do I know how that might interact with fldigi. Or
maybe fldigi has ax.25 built in and the computer just needs to format
the message. I'll have to mess around with this part this weekend.

Although ?rocket science,? it CAN be done with your HT ? (grin)

Here is a reference page of good material. Look at Joanne?s excellent article
on working the ISS via packet.

https://amsat-uk.org/beginners/how-to-work-the-iss-on-aprs-packet-radio/
<https://amsat-uk.org/beginners/how-to-work-the-iss-on-aprs-packet-radio/>

And know now that the ISS? packet work is on 440 - NOT 2M - due to an
equipment failure on board. Here is a suggested frequency chart for you
to accommodate now for Doppler on that 440 frequency ?

I actually did do something very similar to this. I built a 2m yagi,
hooked it to my HT and listened in on a contact. Later I hooked it to my
SDR dongle and laptop and recorded data for later decoding, which was
successful.

However, I got a direct reply from someone else that mentioned there are
no store-and-forward satellites. (I'm not sure how I thought there
were. Maybe that was old info or maybe I just imagined it.) The s-a-f
part is more important to me than the satellite part, so I may hop over
to HF instead...

Hi All,

Just to report that AO-73/FUNcube-1 is now in manual amateur mode for
the weekend with the transponder operational continuously.

We plan to revert back to auto mode on Sunday pm, as usual.

Please enjoy and have fun

CAS-2T was heard on 3Dec2016 at 0007-0009utc.

After about 10 transmissions, it stopped altogether.

All I have is a CHIRP-generated .chirp file and its associated .csv file for
the Baofeng ?5R
that I programmed for a friend ? I believe CHIRP is ?powerful? enough to
IMPORT the
CSV file for other Baofeng units.

It has AO-85, new-and-old ISS packet (the suggested 5-freq set for the
current 440 packet),
SO-50, ISS 2M voice for the regions, the six NOAA freqs, and the national
simplex freqs.

I will post it as a .zip file on the DOCS page at ?

Hi David,

fldigi doesn't do 1200 baud AFSK, which is the modulation that you need
for the ISS and other APRS satellites. I recommend direwolf.
