Hi!

I have made an MP3 of my recording, from the pass of 27 March 2006 2046-2054 UTC. You can get it from:

Scroll down toward the bottom, then look for the filename with this date and time in it. This is not a permanent download site; I'll leave the files up there for a little while before I have to clear that out.

73!

The Octopus Elementary school in Holland is very active in amateur radio.
During March 25th a special ham radio event involved the following activities:

International Space Station (ISS).
Amateur Television
Foxhunting
Making small electronic circuits
DARES emergency radio
Morse Code

During the activities we where lucky that Bill McArthur had some time to come on the radio so we could show the children that with our beautiful wireless hobby, we also can talk with astronauts in Space.
In the first (good) ISS pass the school director Dick (PA0DFN) made a QSO with astronaut McArthur (NA1SS).

The International Space Station Expedition 13 crew of Commander Pavel Vinogradov, RV3BS (left), and Flight Engineer Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, are in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, preparing for their Soyuz launch March 30 (at 0230 UTC) to the ISS. The Expedition 12 crew of Commander Bill McArthur, KC5ACR, and Valery Tokarev this week moved their Soyuz spacecraft into position on the Zvezda module for their April 8 return flight. Vinogradov and Williams are scheduled to dock at the station April 1 at 0419 UTC. Brazil's first astronaut, Marcos Pontes, will join the Expedition 13 crew for the trip into space and will spend a week aboard the ISS conducting research under a commercial agreement between the Brazilian Space Agency and the Russian Federal Space Agency. Brazilian telecommunications authorities have granteed Pontes the call sign PY0AEB for use on his space journey, and there are plans for him to conduct Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school contacts during his mission. Pontes will return to Earth April 8 with McArthur and Tokarev, who've been in space since last October. NASA reports they've been focusing this week on packing and preparing for the trip home as well as continuing several science experiments that study plants in weightlessness and crystal growth in space. McArthur also took time to talk via NA1SS with students in Canada and Italy during separate ARISS contacts.

is there a list of stations ISS has QSO'd with somewhere?

I think I was successful today during the 1712 pass of South Carolina. I had someone keying on the downlink freq.
