Unable To Start Tracking Countdown
Greetings,
I am unable to start the countdown via the Tracking section of this Website.
I enter my country, and my city, I then pick my city and state, then All passes within 24 hours and start the countdown, but it does not start. It used to work fine about 2 months ago.
This happens both at work and here at my house.
Any theories?
Thanks!

Rumors vs Fact
In response to this posting in the reporting area:
[quote]6:05z Mar 8 2007- Anonymous- NOT ACTIVE- No activity from ISS. Will listen tomorrow for school QSO. Rumor is ISS packet has been terminated until sometime maybe in 2008. Maybe it might happen sooner. Sorry for ARISS. John [/quote]
That is a bad rumor. It has been planned for the packet system to be attempted to be restored during the expediton crew change in April 2007.
Comments and questions are not easily addressed in the status reporting area. It is better to use the Forum section so replys can be made.
