Hi all,
 
Thanks for the signal reports for today's contact with Central Square  
Middle School.  Here is what I do know at the moment:
 
The contact scheduled for 14:05 UTC only had about 3 questions get answered 
 and the contact was cut short.
 
A second attempt was then made at 15:40 UTC and it is my understanding that 
 it failed.  Sorry I was not able to get the word out for the second 
attempt  but as I was just about to do that I had a work related call that took 
precedent  and lasted for about 45 minutes.
 
It is my understanding that many of you heard the ISS quite loudly, so that 
 is good to know for us as we determine what happened.
 
Thanks again to all for their reports.
 
73,

The  ground station had a problem making it to the ISS. The ISS called the 
ground  multiple times.  The astronaut could barely hear them. He said he 
was  catching a few words and their signal was weak. By the time everything 
was ok,  they had 2 minutes for the contact.  From my location, the astronaut 
only  had time to answer 3 questions. 

I recorded the pass. The ISS was very  strong.
