Richard Garriott was on voice over UK and Europe for the 10.14 utc pass.
Using a mixture of his own callsign and RS0ISS he made a brief contact with Cor, PD0RKC and the went on to call RK3DZB, the Cosmonaut Training Centre where he spoke with his father.

I heard a little bit of this pass, with the signal absolutely booming in here in IO75 square. Then I went outside and realised that my rig wasn't hooked to the j-pole but to the 6-ele quad, which I'd lowered and which was lying on the ground under a large hedge...
Seems the ISS is louder than I expected ;-)

In FN13, heard nothing this pass at 1320z. Only 17 deg, but heard nothing at all.

Got 2 pictures on the 1312Z pass. ISS was over FL, and they look to be live shots of the Gulf or Atlantic Ocean. Lots of blue background and clouds. Both Robot 36, and uploaded to the ISS gallery.
