Hi Rick,
I'm Bob, WB4SON, and I was the control operator at N1ASA today. It was fun having a keyboard QSO with you (and K8OE as well) today.
As Steve, AI9IN, guessed, we were testing our gear (computers, radios, antenna system) today. Despite some crummy wet/cold weather, things went quite well. We certainly hope to have our luck hold tomorrow during the 16:43-16:53 UTC window when our students (All Saints Academy, Middletown RI) ask Astronaut Jeff Williams their questions.
Thanks for everyone who put up with my horrible typing!
73, Bob, WB4SON aka N1ASA

Pretty cool! Maybe they were practicing aiming their antenna;-)
I only get a max el of 28 degrees at my QTH during the contact tomorrow, but I'm going to try to eavesdrop on the conversation.
