Nice bright overhead pass just before sunrise here in eastern Pennsylvania, USA, a rare opportunity to both see and hear the ISS. First time hearing Ron Garan on the radio talking to students in Italy. Listening on a heldheld scanner with a 1/4-wave mag-mount mobile antenna, recorded with a digital voice recorder. slowdownracer KB3VQP

It took several tries and 4 or 5 minutes for Nespoli to establish contact. I left the attempts on the recording but edited out the space between. The questions start at about 1:34 in the recording. Got a little of the response to question 5 before losing signal.
