Yep Larry, I'm in San Diego, CA, I hear them on the ISS down link all the time, I have tried to tell them in English that they were on a satellite downlink but they don't speak English and I am usually on an HT so they are not hearing me. I will try to bring my digital voice recorder with me, next time to see if I can capture a call sign. 73 Rich KI6RRQ

"Last year in Mexicali Mexico we spot a company that uses ISS down link freq 145.800 Mhz to communicate on simplex, as soon as we get their phone number by monitoring for a few days we give them a courtesy call and they politely agree to change their operating freq.

I did not record the audio from this pass but would like to get it to see if we can get more details.
