Hi gang,

I've just checked the website of Charles Simonyi KE7KDP

http://www.charlesinspace.com

and sent him an email encouraging ham radio activities.

On his Press section there's a Press Release dated March 23rd:

"In further support of the ARISS program, Dr. Simonyi additionally will perform maintenance on various pieces of ham radio equipment on the ISS. This work will include testing one radio set to isolate an antenna problem with the equipment and reprogramming the default settings on a second unit to correct a configuration problem. "

BTW April 7th (launch day) is my birthday so that'll be one helluva present!
