Hello everyone. For those in the U.S., I hope you had an enjoyable eclipse day.
As has been reported, the voice repeater on the ISS was (is?) active today.
If anyone has not had an opportunity to hear the audio when that configuration is enabled, here is a short section of this evening’s pass if you are curious about the quality, etc. (I wish my cell phone was this clear!)

... the audio would have actually been even more clear, but my antenna pointing was a compromise between the ISS and some nearby cubesats.
