Actually, satellite bounce seems to be much more difficult than EME.
While there have being several reports of ISS bounce, as far as I know
using a (smaller) satellite to bounce off and achieve a QSO has only
being done once:
http://www.dj5ar.de/?p=2182
This was done by 23cm stations well equipped for EME, one of them PI9CAM
using the 25m dish in Dwingeloo.
The path loss for satellite bounce is much better than for EME (-140dB
or so versus -271dB for EME in 23cm). The challenge is in pointing the
dishes, tracking Doppler (+/-30kHz during the pass) and the fact that
the radar equation considers only ideal conditions and in reality the
signals are much weaker and have QSB.

I use DXKeeper. Free. Records all relevant data. Once TQSL is
configured, it will handle all LOTW functions.
Directions here for getting started. As Dave, AA6YQ, the author of
the DXLab Suite of programs that includes DXKeeper is one of the ones
that rescued LOTW from oblivion a few years back, much of this info is
now on the LOTW site. None of the directions here are intertwined

There is nothing between you and the satellites, usually, so signals
are always strong on the LEOs.

Correction:
I had read incorrectly the data in http://www.dj5ar.de/?p=1862
The path loss for satellite bounce in 23cm is -254dB.

I use a headphone splitter through the handset and pass it into this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BY4M7VU/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&

Good audio, comes with an audio cable. Only records what comes through
your headphones, but then again I know who I am and where I am.
Sorry Peter, hit the wrong reply button.

Thanks, Jim. I will definitely look into this! PBP2 says it uses Eltima
drivers, and that's a good sign because of today's experiment.
FWIW, I tried today with the Eltima Serial Port Splitter,
(http://www.eltima.com/products/serialsplitter/) and after a little messing
around, I got the whole thing to work pretty well. There are two problems,
however:
1) Eltima does splits, but doesn't do pairs. So to do APRS through the ISS,
I needed to use VSPE to create a pair, and Eltima to do the split, running
both programs at the same time.
2) Eltima wants $99.95 USD for their software, so I'll likely not be able to
continue this setup after the 14-day free trial expires. Also, you can't
save configurations in the free trial, so the whole thing needs to be set up
from scratch each time. I think if you pay the fee that problem goes away.--

I fought with issues like this on the station PC down at NI6BB.
I *never* got things to share the com port until I used LBP2, which is a
similar bridge program.
Id just about given up, and thought I'd give it one last try after I
installed the LP=PAN panadaptor for our ancient Kenwood TS-850.
Fo;;owing the instructions, I had port sharing between the panadptor (it

Give it a try, it's free.

I paid for one of the versions I tried at NI6BB. The 32-bit was free,
but because they had to pay Micro$oft a fee to get it "approved" for
installations with 64-bit systems, they had to charge to use it.
I don't remember who I bought it from, or what I paid, but it was money
down the drain, as it didn't work, either.
After I installed the LP-PAN, I decided to give the LPB2 software a
shot, as it was annoying to NOT see the correct frequency being
displayed in FLDIGI. Once that was working, I then created another
virtual port to use with AClog, and I was pleasantly surprised that all
the applications played nice with each other and the radio.
We're using a USB-to-serial converter to connect to the radio. It has a
NON Prolific chipset in it, as I'm really tired of fighting with the
counterfeit Prolific stuff that's flooding the market. As soon as
Windows Update would "update" the Prolific drivers, the cables would
stop working if they didn't have a genuine Prolific chipset in them,
forcing me to roll back the drivers.
This is a major problem with all the cables people buy to program their
Baofeng HT's, and ALL of the Hams on the Iowa have a Baofeng that I
program for them using MY cable and Chirp.
Haven't tried any APRS through the ISS. The last time I did it I used my
Kenwood TH-D72, and just bounced packets through it using the antenna on
the HT.

OK, I think I may have solved the mystery. I am seeing multi-channel PSK
during the pass. Why someone would use multi-channel PSK is a mystery to
me, but it looks like 9 channels.
Anyone seen that before?

2046 UTC, the bird went directly overhead. I was in listen-only mode. All

it's probably 9 different stations. multiple users. thats whats nice
about this bird no CB like single channel FM birds where the biggest

Well, the signals all start and stop at the same time, and are all equally
spaced.
If this was HF only, I would say it looks like the PSK AFSK is overmodulated
by using too much TX audio...

The Moscow Aviation Institute ISS SSTV event, otherwise known as
MAI-75, which took place Monday [1] and will also run on Tuesday
August 16th is scheduled to stop at 16:45 UTC. [2] That leaves only
one opportunity for US and Canadian hams to receive the SSTV, during a
single pass starting around 16:30 UTC, or 12:30 EDT.
This assumes the Russians don't turn it off slightly before schedule,
which is a possibility as it isn't started and stopped exactly per
schedule. In the video above you can see the pass and some of the
cities it covers.
Note that even though it passes over a lot of cities, all but Miami
will be below 50 degrees which will make reception harder. For the
lowest elevations like Dallas with only 1 degree, you may only be able
to receive it with a directional antenna like the Arrow II Satellite
antenna or a base antenna with a very low radiation angle.
Below you can see the exact pass timing for various cities and the max
elevation. The cities are listed in order of max elevation. If you're
in or near a city towards the top of the list you'll have a decent
chance of receiving the ISS Slow Scan TV.

To find out exactly when the ISS will be passing over you or see the
max elevation for your location use http://heavens-above.com or
another website or mobile app to predict the pass.
Here is a video I made that shows how to setup heavens-above.com to
track the ISS:

Isnt there also a school contact at the same time? I assume the school
will take priority over the SSTV?

The Moscow Aviation Institute ISS SSTV event, otherwise known as MAI-75,
which took place Monday [1] and will also run on Tuesday August 16th is
scheduled to stop at 16:45 UTC. [2] That leaves only one opportunity for
US and Canadian hams to receive the SSTV, during a single pass starting
around 16:30 UTC, or 12:30 EDT.
This assumes the Russians don't turn it off slightly before schedule,
which is a possibility as it isn't started and stopped exactly per
schedule. In the video above you can see the pass and some of the cities
it covers.
Note that even though it passes over a lot of cities, all but Miami will
be below 50 degrees which will make reception harder. For the lowest
elevations like Dallas with only 1 degree, you may only be able to receive
it with a directional antenna like the Arrow II Satellite antenna or a
base antenna with a very low radiation angle.
Below you can see the exact pass timing for various cities and the max
elevation. The cities are listed in order of max elevation. If you're in
or near a city towards the top of the list you'll have a decent chance of
receiving the ISS Slow Scan TV.
