Hi John!
Thanks for the quick QSO during that ISS pass! Using my TH-D74A and Elk log periodic in the back yard, along with some prepared messages instead of fumbling on the keypad to type out my grid locator and "tnx" or "73" to end QSOs, I'm happy we could make that exchange.
Before you showed up, I had made QSOs with KK6OTJ in southern California and KC7MG south of the Phoenix area. I saw one other station before my LOS, KB6LTY-2 who was also in southern California.
Working you wasn't my longest-distance QSO on the 70cm ISS packet digipeater, but it was pretty good at just over 1900km. Thanks again for answering me.
73!
