Great coverage here in Boston. Strong Down link. Good Audio. Good Questions and Answers.
Thanks for the reports and comments, everyone. A lot of people contributed time, knowledge, and equipment for this contact, and we were pleased that it went so well. Clay came up over the horizon full quieting calling us right on scedule, and it was a kick when he recognised Matt on the microphone. The kids were excited and it was great fun to watch. We also had lots of media coverage - three television stations, a radio station, at least one newspaper, and even my employer's newsletter editor were in attendance.
Many thanks to AMSAT, the ARISS team and NASA for making it all possible, and especially to Clay Anderson. And to anyone reading this who is considering doing a school contact: DO IT!!!!!!!
