ISS V/U repeater active and loud

The ISS repeater will be in V/U mode through January 17, according to
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/january2009/ariss_anniversary_update.htm .

I just had a 20 degree pass and it was really loud, far louder than anything I've ever heard from AO-51 or any other bird. Quite a lot of activity, I worked 6Y5RA, N4QWZ, YV5MM, and KG4ZLB. Called N2EHG (good signal) several times but no answer.

Note that this is NOT the usual ISS repeater configuration (used to be 70cm uplink, 2 meter downlink). The downlink is now on 437.8, and the uplink is on 145.99 (67hz PL tone needed).

Dual Shuttle Launch??

Does anyone know if this is valid?
http://www.nasa.gov/missions/highlights/schedule.html

Looks like May 12th and then 15th - Shuttles to be launched 3 days apart?

Only thing that I can figure is that they are sending the 2nd one up to be ready in case there is a rescue mission needed... Either way, I have already booked the camp site in titusville, and plan on being down there for both of them.
