The ISS crew uses 143.625 when in range of Russian Ground sites. Sometimes this is because they don't have TDRSS comm. and other is to coordinate Russian only activities. The only other time 143.625 is uses is for the Emergency communication checkout once a month over N. America.

Hi all, I am interested to know how often the crew uses the 143.625 freq. When Anousheh is on 145.800, also check 143.625. In theory, when 143.625 is transmitting, the ham reciever will go deaf.
We had a similar problem on Mir. When 143.625 was on the air, i had to run "Excessive ERP" at close range to get into the Ham station. I fixed the Mir problem by installing a filter from DCI, that had a special Notch for 143.625.
thanks wf1f Marex

She was active at 07:33 UTC over England trying for an Iranian callsign..she didn't use phonetics but it seemed to be EPT??RS. There seems to me a number missing in the sequence so I can't be sure if I got it correctly.
After three tries she stopped and then appeared on the Moscow Mission Control frequency 143.625 and I just heard a few words from her before
the pass window closed.
