Hi
I'm picking up skip on the ISS freq 145.8 tonight. ISS was on the north end of south america. I live at libby, mt. Been hearing it for the last few nights when iss is around. heard this around 2300 hrs. have heard it earlier tonight too. ISS Crossband repeater

Not skip or ducting. Just the crossband repeater doing what it does best.

Having a repeater that high gives it a massive footprint. Yesterday I heard California talking to New York on it.
