The ARISS team has instructed the Valery to leave the Packet system on 145.825 for an additional week to support the double hop experimentation.

Since 1 day and 10 houres we haven't received any packet frames from ISS. I monitored only on 145.825 MHz but several message from around the world are saying silence on 145.800 MHz too. Probably due to the undocking operation Valery commanded off the amateur radio equipment for a while.

There are many,many more. I was only looking for USA opportunities. Three are many opportunities every day over other countries. And coutries far from Europe and USA will have better luck too.

This evening is a great opportunity for hams in Alaska and the Pcacific Northwest to do a double-hop (or triple hop test) between ISS and PCsat (if ISS is over on 145.825).

Prediction received from WB4APR Bob including the 3 planned ISS maneuvers over the next weeks. If you have a pass of EITHER spacecraft during these windows, you have a chance at witnessing a double hop path.

Message received from WB4APR, Bob Bruninga: "..This was pass of ISS and PCsat over USA with PCsat almost directlly 500 miles overhead of ISS over Newfoundland.....".

After some tests I have worked Valery on phone quite easily with 50 w and a 9 elements two meters above the ground on my roof-garden.
I am very glad I have been talking with him after so many years since his last mission on MIR.

Heard David Wolf in several QSOs while I quickly switched over from packet to voice uplink frequency. Didn't Seem to be much of a pileup. David signed saying they needed to get up early for the EVA.

....WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOCK WITH SHUTTLE TOMORROW
AT 17:25 GMT.
....WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE TEST WITH PACKET MODULE VIA SATELLITE
DURING THE NEXT WEEK... said this afternoon in two messages Valery
