ISS has a much higher orbit than the other sats ~250 miles vs ~150 miles or so for other LEO sats IIRC!

Having just joined (last 2 weeks) the APRS world with my TH-D72, I’ve heard a lot of ISS packets coming down, but was unable to make contacts until I got the Arrow pointed at the ISS. NO-84 on the other hand, I’ve been able to contact using the stock rubber-duck on my TH-D72. Something ain’t quite right here.
