Visible/non visible passes?
Hey all, I have recently gotten back into Amateur radio and find it fascinating that I could speak with thr ISS crew. I've noticed a whole lot more "non visible" passes than "visible" on certain tracking sites. Is it possible to make contact with the crew during a "non visible" pass? Also, generally how often do you guys find the crew to be active on the radio these days?

Has anyone heard how long the Packet Radio will be turned off on the ISS. I have been away from the Radio for awhile and just getting back into it again? K8JMH

Contacts
I've heard the ISS making school contacts lately. When the ISS identifies as NA "i" SS instead of NA "one" SS, does that make a legitimate contact?

Heard Suni on radio
I was lucky enough to have been listening when Suni was talking on the radio as the ISS orbited over. I heard her calling a Florida station a number of times, then made contact. I only heard her side of the QSO, but I recorded what I did hear.
That audio is on my website if you care to listen.
Sure wish the packet digi would go back active, I miss making contacts with other humans at keyboards as the ISS is in range.
