In Raleigh, NC I picked up Kjell in the middle of his answer to question 4. Kjell got through answering question 10 but after that there was a longer than normal break and then Kjell said goodbye and signed off. The end of that last transmission was at 10:24:04 Eastern, I believe that's 14:24:04 UTC.
I was surprised he lost them that early because I had their pass ending at 10:26:06 Eastern (14:26:06 UTC). I was using keps downloaded last night from Celestrak in Orbitron.

Normally the ARISS passes are below 20 degrees for me and this time it was a 42 degree pass so I picked up the Columbus module stronger than ever before. At least S9 signal at one point and the audio was cleaner than normal with no hiss.

I have audio/video of all this and I'll probably make a video out of it for YouTube.
