I don't know how much of this the reflector will allow through.  Check spacenetone.com where I copied this source.
Relevant paragraph recopied here:  Rest follows below it.

Please list your amateur two way radio earth station by ICAO Code <https://www.world-airport-codes.com/> to Your nearest International Airport. Denver International Airport for example:K4RTV-L KDEN

This is important for quick situational awareness of location of the amateur radio space to ground earth station in operation and provides recorded data for who, what, where, and when for The United States Federal Government, in case of a unlikely manned space mission communications emergency, and the astronauts go for the Amateur "HAM" Radio on ISS or elsewhere.This communications system is under United States Federal Government Jurisdiction

This is a International Team Effort, All Radio Amateurs are Welcome to Participate by building and operating your own Radio Earth Station connected to the Spacenet One Network 24/7

April 9, 2019, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine<http://www.spacenetone.com/video1.html>
addressed the 35th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He spoke about the agency’s commitment to accelerate our plans for lunar exploration — to return to the Moon to stay by 2024, with an eye toward Mars as the next destination.

Spacenet One provides receive audio only of NASA Two Way Radio Communications
To monitor conditions aboard the International Space Stations and other manned NASA space missions. The *FLORIDA* server / data reflector is located at Colorado Springs, Colorado . With No management or technical issues. This communication network has military grade security with full automatic redundancy.

Please list your amateur two way radio earth station by ICAO Code <https://www.world-airport-codes.com/> to Your nearest International Airport. Denver International Airport for example:K4RTV-L KDEN

This is a International Team Effort, All Radio Amateurs are Welcome to Participate by building and operating your own Radio Earth Station connected to the Spacenet One Network 24/7

The sponsoring agencies have stated that they consider access to a Ham Radio System a requirement for psychological support of the crews, by providing family and general contacts for people who will be in space several years at a time with a permanent base on the Earth's MOON and on the Planet MARS.

As the international space station takes its place in the heavens, The Amateur Radio Community is prepared to do its part by helping to enrich the experience of those visiting and living on the station and elsewhere in Space.

Subject: [PPRAANet] low-level interference on 146.46?

I often monitor 146.46 during the daytime, with the squelch on. Quite
often, the noise increases and I have to turn the squelch to a much
higher level to silence my rig.  I discovered that the noise is actually
a low-level FM(?) signal.  I can't hear any modulation when my rig is in
the FM mode (because the signal's too weak), but when I switch over to
USB, I can hear an FM signal -- sometimes there is modulation, as if a
conversation is taking place, but other times, it sounds like some type
of digital communication is taking place -- sounds like some type of
scanning --perhaps SSTV.

I lately discovered that every 10 minutes, the signal identifies as
K4RTV/L.  (I can copy the CW ID on the carrier, when in the USB mode).
Does anyone know what this station is or does?  It appears to be a
repeater of some kind.  Also does anyone know what /L stands for?

I looked the station up in qrz.com, and he is located in Westminster,
CO.  I tried to send the op an email to the address listed in qrz.com,
but the email bounced.

Any help in identifying what this station is and its purpose is
appreciated.  The signal is weak enough so that it doesn't create
interference on 146.46 QSOs at my location -- but I have to turn up the
squelch quite a bit when it's on.
