There are maybe one to zero stations on ISS here
No issues with traffic
The point that I think others are trying to make is: Don't use up potential channel time when you're not actively making a QSO with the
ISS.
Someone else, who may be using far less power than you do, may be
trying to
make that elusive contact.
