Don Pettit was heard by me talking to at least 2 amateur stations at the date and time above.
Unsure as to whether or not this was a scheduled school contact, as this was a bad pass for my station.
If it was a random contact, any info from the stations contacted would be welcome here on the Fan Club site.

The ARRL Letter from The American Radio Relay League reports that International Space Station Expedition 6 Crew Commander Ken Bowersox, KD5JBP, deftly managed 30 questions put to him this week during a 10-minute Amateur Radio contact with 15 New Jersey students.

It turns out that the QSO I heard on April 14th at 1700z was an ARISS contact with the Lounsbury Middle School in New Jersey.

Interesting possibility to listen Astronauts from Space this evening April 4 at 18:29 UTC (this is the correct time verified by the computer tracking) during the scheduled ARISS contact with UK National Space Centre.
Thanks for this news sent by G6LVB
