Yeah, that was tough. I had a short QSO with WA4SCA near TCA. I have ~2500w EIRP on L, minus some trees, and could only bring it up above 45 degrees, and lost it when the rotors went 360. I think some of it must be shielding of the ISS antenna, because there was a sharp transition from doesn't work to works.
Thanks Alan, and thanks to the ARISS team!
