20JUL10 2250 UTC Voice Contact with ISS from Portland, Oregon using Yaesu VX-8R and Arrow 2-meter Yagi antenna. My son Matt and I had the great thrill of talking with Flight Engineer, Col Douglas Wheelock. They were flying over Vancouver B.C taking photos. What an exciting event for a new HAM! My son and I are hooked. David Pruett, MD LCDR MC USNR (ret) YouTube - USNERDOC [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/USNERDOC/[/url]
