Yes, that was an ARISS QSO with a Venezuelan school:
"An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Asociación Civil Instituto Maria Montessori, San Cristóbel, Venezuela on 31 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:23 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and YY2CMR. The contact should be audible over Venezuela and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English."

Hi to all.
A group of Cuban ham are excited about listening what he thinks was a ISS pass and locals are asking to me to write an article for our national web site; the news spread on 2m local repeater during the pass and a few hams managed to listen a few seconds after the LOS, that rise a lot of comments and interest...
The pass was on October 31 around 1 to 2 pm in CO land (CDT) on 145.800, does any has any details of that? or better a recording of the pass?
My pass predictions shows a good pass over Cuba but later on that day, not at this time... I was on a work meeting and don't heard it.
Thanks in advance...
