To anyone looking to get a ham radio (you need a licence btw) That's the ISS repeater. You're not actually speaking to an astronaut although sometimes they do get on the air. The repeater allows your signal to be retransmitted so that you can talk to people further away than normal on that frequency. It's a fun hobby but you need to understand you won't buy a $25 HT and immediately be talking to astronauts! 😅

I may be wrong but you can still listen right? (with a cheap $25 baofeng)

These sats hear you a lot better than you hear them. Because of practices like this, the poor FM repeater on the ISS is unusable most time. It just kerchunks the whole time.
