Miles Mann: '......If a crew member logs into the PMS from the serial port via a LapTop computer, the radio port will get a BUSY message until the Serial port computer logs off.....'

The Russian RS 12/13 satellite, long a popular "easysat" because of it's downlinks on 10 and 2 meters and uplinks on 2 and 15 meters, is off the air and unofficial reports say it may be dead.

ISS Packet system is again active after Valery checked TNC. In a pass over USA 27 minutes ago digipeater was ON and several stations passed through as shown on www.ariss.net site.

Just received a message from Miles about his QSO with Valery Korzun at 19:45 UTC this evening.

Check the indicator on the top right of this page to see when Packet system will return active.
