I heard him on a pass this afternoon while mobile (didn't have the uplink set up so I couldn't get in myself). He was chatting a bit as it was a western pass and apparently not too busy. From his end of the conversation he seemed to indicate that once he's back on earth he'd be receptive to appearing at hamfest & Clubs to talk about his experiences and meet the stations he's worked.
Hope it's so.

I almost didn't think to try for ISS passes, until I looked at the oscar.dcarr.org web site and saw afternoon activity in the last few days before the hamfest.
I think we're going to miss Doug Wheelock when he heads back Earthside. He's been nearly as active as Mike Fincke was. He needs to pass his enthusiasm for operating the ISS station along to his replacement.
