[amsat-bb] Video of my reception of Booker T. Washington Miami ARISS contact

This was an excellent reception for me in Raleigh, North Carolina with
just a 15 degree pass. My pass started about one minute before Miami's
pass started and ended about two minutes before Miami's pass ended. I
picked up Tim Peake establishing the contact full quieting (no noise)
with a signal strength of S7 to S9 on the S-meter (where 9 is the
highest) and held that quality and signal strength through the answer
to question 15. I heard nothing after that but my pass was about over
by then. The school reported they got through question 16 but couldn't
get more due to buildings blocking the signal, so I got all but one of
the answers on a relatively low height/elevation pass of only 15
degrees. Not bad.

This is my reception of the International Space Station talking to
Booker T. Washington Senior High in Miami, Florida on Monday March
14th, 2016 at 15:48 UTC. The school was using callsign W4SVI and
British astronaut Tim Peake was using callsign NA1SS. My callsign is
KG4AKV.
