If you haven't seen this video on the QRZ. COM website, you're missing a great promotion about Ham Radio. I've heard the ISS station several times on both the HF and VHF bands. Although I've never worked them, it's quite possible with a handi-talkie and a small hand held beam. I once dropped a letter (portable packet) into the mailbox of the Russian MIR station while sitting in a cow pasture near Charleston.
This video promotes the work of VK5ZAI....it's a good one.
