Hi folks, A year ago I recorded what has become a relatively popular video on YouTube of a conversation between a Virginia school and Astronaut Mike Hopkins:

I thought it wasn't common for the ISS to become active for unscheduled contacts, but today I am learning that is not true, they are randomly on the air. My first attempt at contacting them was an early morning pass on April 1st (5:30am local, 0930 UTC). I recorded a woman in the ISS talking about floating in space and such, but I had some interference/intermod and was never able to make contact. Any idea who this is? Does anyone know who she was talking to? It seemed like a conversation with only one other person. Man I wish I could have been that person! haha. Any other advice on making contact would be appreciated. I will be trying to make contact again this evening.
