ARISSat-1 and the ISS are at rather low altitudes, deep in the shielding

Burns,
The TM-D700 used the cross band repeater function to listen to the ARISSat 2
meter FM voice, and then rebroadcast it on 70 cm. It was reported to have
been used to check the first short test. I do stuff like that in the home
shack, even using dummy loads, but then I don't live in a metal

Silence over Nashville on the 0610 UTC pass. All but 2 of the passes during
