    Oh man, that looked like both of you were having so much fun. I honestly had no idea that you could actually contact the space station via ham radio. What an experience. What a fun way too to build that relationship with Matt Attack. He looked like he was having all sorts of fun.

    Good for you!

    NA1SS has a nice QSL card. You should send yours and get theirs.

    I worked the station a year or two ago.  I was sitting in carpool line, waiting to pick up my son. It was just my mobile radio with the 5/8 wave omni. Easy.
