[Az-Geocaching] Ham Radio + Russia + Spacesuite = fun Friday

[Bob & Linda Smith]

That is great Trisha....  I have been trying to make a contact with ISS over the years and I just don't seem to be in the right place at the right time.

Congratulations and 73,,

  Since you mentioned the ISS, on 1/14/06 I made a contact with the ISS via Ham Radio UHF, Cmdr Bill McArthur (KC5ACR) heard and repeated my call (N7TMY) thru the probable pile up and I will get a QSL card! (I sent one of course). They were using the International Space Sta. call sign of NA1SS and we had contact as he passed over the NW USA on 437.550 MHz, using a vertical w/ 35W!! Not bad, huh??

  For the Hams in this group, this will mean something and they will understand how cool this is.

  For the non-Hams, sorry for the off-topic, but I couldn't resist telling this way-cool story!
