I was scanning through my programmed frequencies this morning and picked up the ISS on 145.800 Mhz. FM on my Uniden Bearcat BC125AT. Pretty cool. Wasn't expecting that.

Nice catch.

During the dead air moments, I raised my phone up, waving it around, trying to get a better signal!

Good Catch. I have managed to catch a few school contacts from the ISS here in Va.
