Now, I know I am at a credibility risk by even asking this, but can anyone explain (rationally) why I received (mostly uncopyable) ISS SlowScan earlier this evening while ISS was over Mongolia? (145.825)

Also have heard ISS APRS traffic on 2 separate occasions while ISS was over Indonesia.

Now, I am a believer that there is a rational explanation of unexplained anomalies (as a retired NASA-KSC Systems Eng'r where we plenty of THEM), but this one leaves me cold.

Ducting?? Someone goofing around or running a few KW from a ground station?? Little green E-T's? :-)

Col. Doug Wheelock (NA1SS) works U.S. stations on 20 November 2010 at 2207 UTC. Stations worked include the following: W0COL, WR9A, K9HER, KD5JIA, ? in Arkansas, WD4HAM, K4SQL, KB5NBJ and KD?.

This was only an 11 degree elevation pass, so quality is poor. Col. Wheelock mentions recording a U.S. pass later tonight or tomorrow night in high-def for subsequent viewing on NASA TV.
