There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having direct contacts on the 40 meter band. There is no HF radio equipment on board and available yet. The HF antenna is mounted. Sometimes WA3NAN will retransmit shuttle audio.

There was a visible pass of the ISS this morning over northern California. It first became visible at about 50 degrees elevation looking to the south. It was a descending pass from the NW to the SE.
The photograph is here: http://tjb.smugmug.com/photos/268828895_VC29r-O.jpg
It was not the most ideal night time photography conditions with a full moon on the right at about 25 degrees elevation, the glow in the lower left is from the city lights of the San Francisco bay area 30 miles to the south. Even though I had the SLR mirror locked up, and I was using a cable shutter release, the tripod I used is not stable enough for this type of long exposure.
