The uplink was 437.050 w/ 67 Hz CTCSS. Just a reminder since that's 70cm to be sure to adjust for doppler!

The stations that were on frequency sounded clear as a bell. So nice to work through the ISS again after all this time without a packet digipeater.

73!

I read a thread on reddit amateurradio discussing whether an ISS downlink could be heard on 145.500: https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/8t9nsu/iss_repeater_active/

But I did not pay a lot of attention. Until this afternoon when I was in a park keeping an eye on my child while keeping an ear on some 2 meter frequencies with an HT. And indeed at some time 145.500 sprung to life with the kind of audio that I expect from satellite contacts (gridsquares, callsigns all in rapid succession).

I checked Hamsatdroid and indeed an ISS pass was active. Signal reception was possible until a few seconds after LOS.

Any ideas what's going on? Or what the uplink would be? It was good to hear actual contacts being made and not a 'zoo' like some of the other satellites on a Sunday afternoon.
