Satellite Communication Frequencies
If there is one type of frequency everyone in the world can receive, then it is space communication frequencies. Right now, there are satellites scattered all over the sky, directly in range of you. All you have to do is listen and you will hear them.
I do not know of an exact fix, but we know where on the frequency charts they will most likely be heard.
