about PSAT running just 300mW, 16dB lower than the ISS so I
suspect the problem would be hearing the satellite rather than
it hearing you, assuming the its rx hasn't deliberately been
desensitised. I rarely read about rx sensitivity on the
satellites.</font><br>

<pre wrap="">From Sydney I often get picked up by satgates in VK3/4/5 and ZL - the
ISS's footprint is pretty large.
ISS is probably the only bird you'll have much luck with using just a
HT, but you might get into NO-84 on a good pass.

<pre wrap="">I'm about to go on a hike through Tassie (Overland Track) in a few

a few posits along the way, is there anyone in earshot of the ISS
SatGating around there? Any other aprs sats worth giving a go?
