An ARISS programme was organised at H.A.L. School Lucknow India on 12th May 2016 in coordination with HAL Scouts Group Amateur Radio Club Lucknow (VU2LKO) in which the students asked questions directly with Astronaut Tim Kopra KE5UDN who is on board International space Station.

The briefing about the programme was started from Amateur Radio Club, Washington DC K6DUE by the programme mentor Mr Eskil SM5SRR from Sweden at 1240 Hrs IST through teleconferencing.

I couple days ago I received a signal or beacon from the ISS and assumed it was either packet or APRS but I'm leaning more towards packet. Can anyone tell me where I can find a free or trial version of packet radio software?
As far as radio's I'am pretty much set. I have the Kenwood TS-2000X and an Elk antenna on a short tower. Right now I'am only interested in receiving signals from the station.
