Hello all,

from now on, PMS status reports can be easily posted using the new module we have just finished writing.

This new module (availabe only for ifc members here) can be accessed clicking on the top right block called "ISS Packet Radio".

Today, 6 January 2003 at 1715Z I tried to connect to the packet system, but didn't hear anything...

Happy New Year to all!

Last night at 2345 my time I was expecting to here some packet on 145.800 ( I know it's off ) when I heard Don chatting to some Australian Ham operators.

If anyone would like to hear the recording check out alt.binaries.radio-scanner.

All the best,

JOHN

I remember being amazed by the fact that these large HF beams were capable of crossing the oceans reaching remote lands all over the globe.
