ISS packet repeater active

The Amateur Radio AX.25 FM packet repeater on the International Space Station (ISS) is now active on 145.825 MHz.

Amateur Radio Stations callsigns heard via ISS can be seen on APRS maps. In order to appear on a map, a position report in a valid APRS format must be digipeated through ISS, then be heard by an internet gateway station, which then forwards it on to the APRS Internet System.

The ISS APRS Callsign maps can be seen at
