Plus if it's listening to 135KHz and re transmitting what it hears on 2 or 70cm,  it isn't transmitting on 135  so  what part is not legal?

There's no problem with flying a receiver, it's Amateur Band transmitters you can't fly below 7MHz.

Here's a question which hopefully someone can answer.

The natural follow to having a receiver on 135kHz is as you say to retransmit it on 70cm.

Such a system would in theory permit 2-way QSO's to be held via the sat.

Now at what point does a monitoring receiver become a satellite Uplink ?
