The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is
pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.

The packet system (145.825 MHz up & down) is currently misconfigured and
not in operation.

The Ham TV system (2395.00 MHz down) is aboard but currently stowed. The
BATC Ham TV wiki is at https://wiki.batc.org.uk/HAMTV_from_the_ISS and
there is also a discussion channel available on the site.

The SSTV system (145.800 MHz down) is currently stowed.

As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.

Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.
