why the talk thru repeater is never on
for sometime i used to enjoy using the talk thru repeater on the iss
but this has not been available for some years
hopefully better equipment will allow it in the future
you might have thought the heating problem would have been sorted out on the ground and equipment capable of doing the job would have been used
perhaps they could put a fan over the d710 to keep it cool?

Where has the predicted pass gone?
I have lost the ability to predict a pass from the ISS on the ISS fan club page. Is it just me or has there been a change made. Please bring it back, I miss it Under the picture of the iss, there used to be a prediction of the next passes, but this appears to have disappeared. I am using windows 7, internet browser 11 and it just isn't there, but if I access the issfanclub page through my ipad, the prediction bit is there.
Am I doing something wrong?
