I have received a message from ISS Commander Valery Korzun about the Hamradio Station Status during last week. The Packet Radio silence is continuing to being unknown. In the Valery's message there isn't a reference to the packet system.-------------------------------------------------

Dear Claudio,

We didn't turn off Ham. We were so busy and we had skip time of activity.
Astronauts had comm. with ham radio but not very often.
Anyway we are still here and miss to communication with Earth' hams.

best wishes from ISS crew!

73 de Valery.

We hope to receive soon any news about the problem regarding the packet system.
