Happy Birthday KE5AIT
Today I sent a Birthday Card to Mike Fincke KE5AIT, via : http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/birthday/index.html - You can too ...
ISS is back on APRS, 145.825 FM of course. Not many stations on tonite : http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/ariss/index.cgi
Interesting stuff on the ISS home page : http://www.nasa.gov/station
Here is an audio recording, as the crew learned of the potential conjunction : http://www.nasa.gov/mp3/318202main_tca_highlights_clip3.mp3
I saw a link to a video they have made, showing some circuit board repair experiments, but I haven't watched it yet. Hummm, never thought about soldering without gravity. I'd be happy to try it if they need someone to go . . .
/;^)
Europe station reports ISS radio in repeater mode during last pass ( http://oscar.dcarr.org/). Somebody might get lucky wishing Mike happy birthday.
Kenneth - N5VHO

Thanks for the heads up Kenneth, I just worked Mike (NA1SS) and wished him a Happy Birthday!
Needless to say I am absolutely delighted with that!

In my haste and excitement I forgot to record the contact so if anyone did I would be very grateful to receive a copy!
Thanks in advance!
