Hi all,

Below is my log so far of ISS contacts and SSTV pics from Oct 14 - Oct 16... received from my home in Hanna, Indiana (near Chicago). I have been using a computer VOX recorder since the beginning of W5KWQ's mission and have audio files for all the activity in my log. If you made a voice contact and would like a copy of the audio that I received, please email me off the reflector at w4sv at arrl dot net

Hope everyone is enjoying this special mission as much as I am (especially since I got a voice QSO at 1652Z today!). I also copied Richard's dad, Owen W5LFL, back in 1983, although I did not make a contact back then. You can hear an SWL copy of W5LFL (and the 2-way QSO's that I have made) on my website at http://www.mistymountains.us/w4sv/space.html . My QSO from today is not yet on the web, but I'll get it on there soon.

73 and Good Luck to all, Stan W4SV
