Not long ago I saw some webpages and emails about some hams using ISS 
(or was it Mir?) as a passive reflector.

Coincidently, I was reading about the West Ford project, which was 
launches of millions of small wire dipoles to be used as reflectors. 
Some of those clusters are still in orbit. I wonder if they are still in 
a dense enough field to reflect the 8 Ghz? signal they were designed for.
