[amsat-bb] ISS crossband repeater may be active

[Andrew Northam]

It was active! I heard a few other voices, but once I got my radio dialed in he was gone. I called out a handful of times and could clearly hear myself. I ended up with a 74.4 tone active to get in, but that may just have been timing and not necessary!

Thanks John
