Had excellent reception (RS 59) horizon to horizon of the astronaut's side of the QSO between the ISS and Bunker Hill School, Indiana.
I am located at Ivy Tech Community College in Batesville, IN (southeast corner of state, Grid EM79jg).
Thank you very much to the astronauts, the folks in Bunker Hill School, and everyone who supports ARISS for making this possible.
I did record it, but haven't checked my recording yet.

Webstreaming is a great idea!
But, I believe that I am in the running for "Nerd of the Month" at my school for standing in the parking lot with my HT and my Arrow antenna, and with a voice recorder in my shirt pocket and the microphone clipped to my tie.

I heard the majority of it here in Raleigh, NC (FM05). People should consider listening even for ISS contacts in different states/areas. I received the entire contact with New York here in Raleigh once:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGFEanljOG8
Last Saturday I even heard the tail end of a contact that was happening in Arizona. Granted I was on the Blue Ridge parkway in the Appalachian mountains, but still. Don't have that one on YouTube yet.
Most impressively I heard the very beginning of a contact via a telebridge in Italy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsaIN1R6LfY
The only reason I heard that though is because Gennady Padalka started calling Italy 6 or 7 minutes early. I actually forgot about the contact and was in the middle of calling them for a random contact. I returned the call only because that's what I thought he was calling for, but you shouldn't call them when they are doing scheduled school contacts so as not to confuse them or interfere.

While we're talking about ARISS contacts, I have a question.
When the cosmonauts do these contacts, do they use the more powerful Kenwood radio in the Zvezda Russian service module or do they use the same setup that most other astronauts use in the Columbus Module?
Because I received a 7 degree pass [1] full scale on the S-meter with Gennady Padalka and an Oklahoma group, where the ISS was even further west from them, I believe over Colorado. Whereas today's 23 degree pass for me I was only getting S-5 or S-7 at the most.

Note: do not call the ISS before, during, or after a scheduled contact. You could confuse them or interfere. That was a mistake I made.
