Actually Mike N1ISS did work K5D today. I received an email stating this fact.

NA1SS, Mike in the ISS tried in vain to contact K5D earlier today. I heard K5D quite clearly on ISS working a few stations; but it appears they shut down the operation right at the time Mike was calling them. This is only a guess in my part, that someone there must have looked at the footprint and determined that no one else would be on the air from stateside.

There were some stations down south calling them, and I asked them to please wait since Mike was calling them; which they kindly did, but it looks like Mike lost a great opportunity to work them. I can only hope he was able to work them when I was no longer in the footprint, but I doubt he was able to.
