Hi!
About 2 minutes after you, I also had a quick QSO! Five watts from my back yard, for my first Field Day QSO. Other regulars were getting through before the ISS footprint covered more of the continental USA. Then my phone started blowing up, with tweets and SMS messages from those who heard NA1SS respond to me. My Field Day could be complete with this QSO, but I'm going to work portable HF from the yard later, and some western satellite passes tonight for my satellite QSO bonus.
Did anyone try 70cm for a QSO? NA1SS was saying "2A DX", so a second transmitter could have been on.
73!

I was a few minutes after you (18:19utc). Really good signals from the ISS on my home system. Taking care of a sick wife, so participating from home...
I also heard the 2 DX designation, so will try the 70cm side on the next pass.

Greg,
I heard NA1SS answering you after I worked him. I also heard a "WIA", possibly KB5WIA in northern California, before I got through. He was having a better time with the stations calling him before the ISS moved away from the west coast.
Good luck on 70cm, and 73!

Congratulations Clint!
Anyone can ask if possible that We are looking to a Chance in Portugal and Europe?
Thank you! Hope ISS made much as possibles Voice QSO´s over America!

Yes, ISS (Reid Wiseman) was active again on the last past (2 min ago). He is getting a workout :-) and is doing a fantastic job managing the calls.
Thanks Reid and NASA, that was a special gift for field day.

Did anybody record the ISS Pass. Trying to figure out if they came back to K9MOT. I thought I heard a partial call.
