Tom,
Are you sure you heard "packet"? Per all the published reports, it is
only sending voice and SSTV (slow scan TV), which sounds quite different
from packet.


Yup, packet bursts, others hear it too.

OK, but according to NASA, it can't be from SuitSat--they aren't sending
packet. There is a guy north of me that has a packet beacon on 145.990
(heaven only knows why) and there may be other *terrestrial* packet
stations around the country that are getting repeated on 437.8

Just out of curiosity, what is your location and do you have a TNC and
software that would allow you to decode the packet transmissions?

Hudson Valley of N.Y., packet gear not hooked up. 437.8 is repeating
Suitsat from what I read. Again, suitsat reports show others hearing it
as well.
