[amsat-bb] Re: aprs iss freq: is there anyone out there?

Unfortunately, 70cm UHF doesn't lend itself to unattended SatGate 
operations like 2m VHF does.  I tried catching the ISS on UHF and only 
managed to hear, but not decode, one packet burst.  I can't imagine 
anything short of a full satellite station with automatic 
azimuth/elevation control would capture many packets right now.
