Hello All,

Today I have listened to the ISS school contact with Wales (UK).
The contact was a success many questions have been answered without QRM.
For the people who could not listen to this school contact I have good news!
You can download the (mp3) recording from my website: http://www.flaps40.net/pd0rkc
The first questions I have missed cause at that time the ISS was not in range of Holland!
