Packet now uses the same scheme as above.
This is a strange scheme, but one that Europeans like as it decreases interferance with terrestrial repeaters
The Mir Controllers ask that you not use the Mir Complex as a digipeater. The Personal Mail System on board Mir is to be used to communicate with the astronauts/cosmonauts exclusively. The call for the PMS is R0MIR-1. R0MIR is the keyboard on board the complex.
A Tuning Scheme
This scheme can be used whether you are limited to 5 KC or can fine tune it down from there. Mir moves fast. The Doppler just screams especially during the midpoint of the pass. The Doppler works both ways, so it is impossible to put one offset in your radio and expect it to work. The following set appeared in WorldRadio in the January 1997 issue. It was developed by John Maglicane. The pattern should be obvious, so if you are limited to 5 KC offsets, just go either side of the center frequency and tune 5 channels in your radio. Good luck and have fun!!
