Yes..that is what happened here in Michigan...1st half of the 18:13 UTC 
pass was silent, then the CW intro and it about blew me out of my 
chair..dont recall hearing sigs that strong from ISS recently.  Got the 
first two pix very clearly.. one in Robot36  the second in Martinn1.  I 
only got about 1/8 of the last one as ISS was setting.

And all on a J pole at 10'  to a TM241.  Couldn't get any simpler or 
cheaper.

What a great time!  Cant wait for more.
