Best software to Track the ISS.
What is the best software to track the ISS..
I am hoping that it is free. I am trying to figure this out to help some young kids get interested in Ham Radio..
They all have PC's..
I have been using:

and
http://satscape.info/satscape/
and
http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=0&lng=0&lo...
The first is a web based application, the satscape is a Java based download application, the last is also a web based program.
I used one,, then the next, then the next.
ARISS Repeater Functioning / Making non-scheduled contacts.
Has anyone recently been able to make use of the Repeater on the ISS?
I have tried using it several times, and have never been able to use it.. Just Curious.. I was thinking that maybe it does not stay on...
The Station usually passes overhead when they are long gone to bed.. I live in a mountain area, and have to wait until the elevation is around 70 degrees or better to have a good shot at it.. I am using a Handheld 5w radio with Arrow hand held beam antenna..
Also,, what is the best time to make an unscheduled contact with them?
