[PPRAANet] Recording of the Contact with the ISS on April 22, 2024

[Myron Babcock]

I listened to both sides of this contact and thought it went off very
well.  Congratulations to the PPRAA and for those who
directly participated.  Other than the ISS Astronaut providing lengthy
answers to the students' questions, it was a great event.  Hearing the ISS
breaking squelch on my HT in the basement, I went outside and listened to
the ISS on my HT with a rubber duck antenna.  Signal was full quieting..
I listened to the 10 AM pass that was skirting the northern skies and heard
conversations with the male astronaut talking with the students in a South
Carolina school.  On the ISS pass 90 minutes after the Colorado pass, 1:27
PM, I worked two different stations through the ISS FM (145.9 up / 437.8
down) repeater. One in Tucson and the other in Mexico City.
