I tried again just now on the (fairly high) pass over the UK and EU. Heard a couple of EA and SM stations on, but I couldn't open the repeater myself.
I had my Kenwood TH-F7E handheld with the cross-band Yagi, and a Jingtong JT-308 with its own rubber duck listening for the downlink. The Jingtong was picking up a huge signal from the ISS - very very good reception indeed. I just couldn't seem to get the repeater to open for me at all though. Any suggestions? I know the TH-F7E and antenna work well for LEO satellites, so I figured it would work for the ISS.
