Hello again
Hello to all you I.S.S. nuts here on the site. I dont know if any of you remember me but I was active here a few years ago. A lot of things have gone on in my life over the past few years that have kept me from this site and amateur radio. The xyl and I seperated almost a year ago and are headed for divorce, so I have some free time on my hands now. So its back to the shack!! That could be a good thing right?...lol
Anyway I would like to jump back into the flow here and meet the new members that have joined since ive been gone. Oh and I heard the I.S.S. this am while it was over head. Didnt get to make contact as she was talking to someone else and then just like that...GONE! Will try again tho. Well thats about it here and im so glad to be back.

Suni Williams, KD5PLB, a Bright, Cheery Voice from Space
An upbeat Suni Williams, KD5PLB, has delighted students at schools in Ohio and New York with her unfailingly enthusiastic responses to their questions about life aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 14 Flight Engineer doesn't even seem to mind when the question is one she's already heard several times already from other youngsters. To date, Williams has been on the NA1SS end of 14 Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school contacts, now totaling 275 since the first ISS crew came aboard in 2000. ISS crew members, many of whom hold Amateur Radio licenses, take time out of their off-work hours to speak with students as part of the educational outreach. During a contact March 16 with students at University School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Williams talked about some of the things she's missing in space.
