[MCARC] International Space Station FM repeater!

[Michael Philbrick]

Amazing what a little elevation can do with line of sight FM. Many moons
ago when still employed I stepped out back door of jobsite with HT and
heard astronaut calling CQ. Of course at that time, one frequency for
downlink and another was being used for uplink on a different band. So, I
could not answer as no radio capable of uplink frequency at that time. Good
luck with your project.

73, Michael
