KF7ETX ISS QSO 14SEP10 2010 UTC GRID CN85om

Well this was the "holy grail" of QSOs or contacts for the new rookie or the established "Elmer" HAM radio operator. Luck was in the air as I made contact with Col Doug Wheelock aboard the International Space Station operating the onboard HAM radio station NA1SS. I felt privileged as he spent a bit of time chatting with me. This was for sure a thrill of a life time!

Had a great contact with Col. Doug Wheelock as he had mentioned both Hurricane Igor and Julia.
As we looked directly into the eye of hurricane Igor it really puts Earl to shame.
