Many people trieing to connect the ISS bbs, the ISS signals are (often) weak, so
if you post an message do it quickly!
The best way is to make a complete text file on your hard-disk before you connect
the ISS bbs!
When you are using UISS packet program you can send your message in a few
seconds with pushing on three UISS buttons:


In the UISS software you can edit 'Send Text' Nr 1, 'Send Text' Nr2, 'Send Text' Nr 3.
Here is an example to make a text behind the three buttons:

w all (type this command by hand with your keyboard).
Hello to all, this is PD0RKC (in 'Send Text' Nr 1).
Thanks to ISS for your packet system, my name is Cor PD0RKC from Holland 73's. (in 'Send Text' Nr 2).
/EX (in 'Send Text' Nr 3).


You have the best chance (to post an message) when you make a short -
message text!
I prefer to post an messages at night (it is more silent!).
