International Space Station Ham Radio - NA1SS Contact - God Speed EXPEDITION 25

Ham radio contact with International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 25 commander Col Doug Wheelock "Astrowheels" operating NA1SS ham radio station aboard ISS on 26 SEP 2010.

I got to pass along "Good Wishes" from a buddy of Col Wheelock's. They flew helicopters when Col Wheelock was a 1LT. What a pleasure it was to complete this email request in a timely manner!

They post the next day's timeline usually p 00:00 UTC, but not always, especially on weekends. Also you will need to manually select the month as it does not automatically switch.
