[Ransom, Kenneth G. (JSC-OC)[BARRIOS TECHNOLOGY]]

Europe station reports ISS radio in repeater mode during last pass ( http://oscar.dcarr.org/). Somebody might get lucky wishing Mike happy birthday.

Subject: [amsat-bb]  Happy Birthday KE5AIT

Today I sent a Birthday Card to Mike Fincke KE5AIT, via :
 http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/birthday/index.html
 - You can too ...

ISS is back on APRS, 145.825 FM of course. Not many stations on tonite :

Interesting stuff on the ISS home page :

Here is an audio recording, as the crew learned of the potential conjunction :

I saw a link to a video they have made, showing some circuit board
repair experiments, but I haven't watched it yet.
Hummm, never thought about soldering without gravity.
I'd be happy to try it if they need someone to go . . .
