[amsat-bb] ISS Repeater Clarification

[John Brier]

There is no tone. The thing to remember is this is not being turned on
for random contacts. It is setup to retransmit one of the student sats
that was recently deployed by hand from the ISS during a Russian EVA.
That sat transmits on 437.050 and that is why the uplink is 437.050
and not the "normal" 437.800 that is published as the repeater
frequency on ariss.org for example.
