Chelmsford Radio Amateur talks to astronaut on International Space Station

Chelmsford Radio Amateur David G8OQW struck lucky when he listened to a pass of the International Space Station on 145.800 MHz on Thurday evening.

He heard NA1SS calling CQ from the Space Station, he replied (on 145.200 MHz) and had the QSO of a lifetime with Expedition 12 Commander Bill McArthur KC5ACR who was operating NA1SS.

This is David G8OQW's description of the contact.
