[HIham] Re: ISS info for tonight

[Norm Cohler]

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your help. Please correct your info --- I live near Kawaihae, 
20.076° N x 155.845° W, which is about 40 miles via hwy from Kailua-Kona. The only thing we share is the West Hawai`i nomenclature. And a little vog these days.

What is the _exact_URL_ for the issfanclub website that tells what mode the ISS amateur gear is in at any particular millisecond?

Aloha, Norm, NH7UA
