Jeff,
You see absolutely nothing wrong with someone beaconing every freaking 3
or 4 seconds? That's all well and good that he wants to see himself online,
but maybe he needs to look closer because his packets ARE getting forwarded
by Igates so that isn't the problem.
Bottom line is that he's beaconing way too often and creating a problem
for people that are actually trying to make a contact and aren't so worried
about seeing themselves online.

Hello fellow bird folk,
Plans for my upcoming Europe trip are now finalized. I will be leaving
direct to Europe from the K6G expedition, first ops being on 4/30.
First stop is a long layover in Iceland. BIKF airport happens to be right
on the HP83/84 line, so I plan to operate from there. Scheduled times on
the ground are 4/30 1345Z - 5/1 0740Z, subtract a bit for customs and
security time, plus I'll probably be visiting the Oceanic Air Traffic
Control Center at some point. West Coasters and ops in the center of NA
take note, there is likely only ONE usable pass (sadly). This is the 1956Z
pass of AO-7, which has footprint over basically the entire continent. I
sure hope the QRO lids remain at bay and don't flip it to mode A, this is a
very rare opportunity. Plenty of passes possible for the East Coast and
Europe.
After that, I will be heading to Amsterdam for four nights, then Brussels
for one night. Not sure how much operating in each country but I hope to
work at least one pass to the US from each towards my CCXD.
The second week will be in the British Isles. May 6-8 on Jersey, 8-10 on
Guernsey, and 10-13 on Isle of Man. I will be staying on the west coast of
each island to maximize possibilities for low passes to North America.
To wrap it up, I will do a day roving in Northern Ireland and the Republic
of Ireland with George MI6GTY before heading back home.
This is a trip with my family, so I won't be on every pass. I will make my
best effort to be on good North America bound passes, and it should be easy
to cover Europe as well. AO-7 will be the primary NA bird, but some use of
FO-29 will be possible.
All countries are CEPT TR61/01 and I have gotten LoTW certificates for all
calls. All QSLing will be through LoTW, but if necessary I can get some
cards made up, which will be available via direct NJ7H as usual.
Callsigns:
Iceland TF/NJ7H
Netherlands PA/NJ7H
Belgium ON/NJ7H
England M/NJ7H (short layovers, not sure if will be used)
Jersey MJ/NJ7H
Guernsey MU/NJ7H
Isle of Man MD/NJ7H
Northern Ireland MI/NJ7H
Republic of Ireland EI/NJ7H

Jeff,
It's quite clear the station is running an unattended beacon, just look at
the packets. Even if this was a live person at a keyboard it would still be
borderline jamming. That's kind of the definition, constantly transmitting
with no intent on making a QSO and blocking other stations from doing so. I
can only hope that the station is doing it on accident due to some improper
configuration and not doing it on purpose. The purpose of packet RADIO over
satellite is not so that you can see yourself on the internet, we have many
other ways to accomplish that, like this Internet BB.
You should really consider why a station needs to beacon at 3 second
intervals to see if he shows up on a website. The latency alone can be
greater than that so they are transmitting again without sufficient time to
know for sure they've been gated.
To your point about the lack of quality gates, if this station wasn't
constantly transmitting it might hear something and gate it. Makes the
problem worse, not better.
73,
Mike Diehl

getting ridiculous...

Jeff, I encourage you to look more closely at the packets in my
original email and at the raw packets on ARISS.net. I copied those
packets directly via RF which means all of them were being digitpeated
by the ISS when I decoded them. They were being seen by anyone in the
footprint and picked up by other IGATE stations. Secondly, I was
running a passive IGATE, forwarding what I received to the APRS-IS.
Based on your statement, if I took down my IGATE, should the other
station transmit more often?
My posting of those packets was not meant to insult anyone or cause
any embarrassment. I posted what I received at my station. Readers can
draw whatever conclusions their hearts desire. I didn't insult anyone
by license class, their goals, etc. Call my email ridiculous if you
will, but it is not my station broadcasting packets via the ISS every
5-10 seconds when in the footprint.

Gabe,
This is excellent news indeed! I can't think of a better way to follow up
activating DM02 with you than to get a chance to score Iceland from SoCal, a
rare opportunity indeed.
I too hope everyone considers us out west who basically never get a chance
like this. Being a 5? max pass I will have to travel quite a ways to get an
optimal chance and it would be a shame if someone flipped it.
Thanks again Gabe for taking roving to this level and thanks in advance to
the other ops for considering your friends out west trying to score rare DX.
73,
Mike Diehl

Yes, should be a great trip! Hope to work you guys on that pass! Being such
short windows, I'm considering just giving everyone a "59" as the piece of
information in the exchange, just to maximize everyone's chance. Have no
fear, the grids will be in LoTW if I do end up running that way.

Clayton, I just closely looked at Dan's transmissions as appeared on the
DIGI'd ARISS site and see that he is for some reason transmitting a bit too
much. At first I only looked at your email. I know he doesn't run
unattended, so I don't know what he is doing. Us old guys lose it, it's just
a matter of time, you will see in 30 years :-) I will try and contact him
to see what's going on....
Here's what I found on APRS.FI...

He should of saw his first TX that got DIGI'd, but maybe for some reason he
didn't, I don't see why, but I also don't know why this indicates that this
is the end of the world, but will look into it, best I can..

Jeff, I encourage you to look more closely at the packets in my
original email and at the raw packets on ARISS.net. I copied those
packets directly via RF which means all of them were being digitpeated
by the ISS when I decoded them. They were being seen by anyone in the
footprint and picked up by other IGATE stations. Secondly, I was
running a passive IGATE, forwarding what I received to the APRS-IS.
Based on your statement, if I took down my IGATE, should the other
station transmit more often?
My posting of those packets was not meant to insult anyone or cause
any embarrassment. I posted what I received at my station. Readers can
draw whatever conclusions their hearts desire. I didn't insult anyone
by license class, their goals, etc. Call my email ridiculous if you
will, but it is not my station broadcasting packets via the ISS every
5-10 seconds when in the footprint.

Sebastopol, CA
Message-ID: <44ED3A1492F84EB3BB1B5C04CAB53A0F@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Brook Haven School, Sebastopol, CA on 19 Apr. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 18:40 UTC. It is recommended that you
start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time. The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a
direct between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible over the west
coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80
MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Brook Haven School is located in the Sonoma wine country town of Sebastopol
about 75 kilometers North of San Francisco. Welcome to Brook Haven School -
a place of authentic exploration, learning and achievement. I hope that you
will take time to explore our website and visit our campus. As the Principal
of this impressive 5-8th grade school, I am proud to introduce you to our
many programs and practices, including traditional academics; industrial,
performing and visual arts; a Makers program; student clubs and activities;
a well-rounded athletics program; pristine facilities, including state-of-
the art technology; exceptionally caring staff members; and, solid social
emotional practices that support student growth and learning.
Our website is at: http://sebastopolschools.org/brook-haven/
Our FaceBook page can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/brookhavenschool/
The students and staff are very excited about this opportunity to speak with
an astronaut on the ISS.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who has helped to make this possible!
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What are the most dangerous jobs on the ISS and what has been your
scariest moment?
2. When you return to Earth what is the biggest adjustment to your body?
3. Does the moon look closer in space? Do the phases of the moon look the
same as on earth?
4. What special things did you bring with you to remind you of your family?
5. How do you adjust to not having a regular sunrise and sunset?
6. How do you adjust to not being able to sit down or lay down for months?
7. What evidence of climate change have you seen from the ISS?
8. Does an animal's biology determine whether or not it can go to space?
What animals have been on the ISS?
9. What medical examinations and vaccinations do you need before you can go
to space?
10. If you could bring one thing back from the ISS what would it be?
11. What is the level of danger on a day-to-day basis?
12. What is your favorite thing to do in space?
13. What scale / period of time do you use?
14. Do you get dizzy or off balanced in space and if so, what do you do about
it?
15. Is time different in space than it is on earth?
16. Are there medical risks with going into space?
17. How much radiation are you exposed to in space vs. earth?
18. What types of plants are you able to grow in space?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
