Yes,
there is (potentially). It requires thinking outside of the box and involving ISS partners outside of NA.
Jaxa has the exposed facility (Terrace) outside of the Kibo module for all kinds of experiments. A fantastic opportunity to maybe, and again I say maybe work with our Japanese friends and see if we can place a payload (even if it is time limited) on the ISS.
Lots of food for thought.

There is a FM repeater in U/V mode, but last time on for it back a years from now (2008?)
That time I read in some place of the internet that the FM repeater was a power hungry device onboard, and that's why it was turned off...
They do not want to listen, or no body said to them that just turning the TX Power Down will fix this... or kind of...
I think the repeater function involved the Kenwood radio that now has a malfunction...
so... there is no hope for now...
My 5 cents...
