[Ccarc] ISS at JOTA

[kb9vmw]

Jeff,
I would love to try for another contact with the ISS. I had a QSO with 
the ISS on Oct 21, 2001, after hearing NA1SS talking to many Scout 
groups on the previous day. I probably heard his half of your QSO, but 
don't remember it. I was using an Icom 746, 100 watts, and a discone 
antenna. I can bring the 746, and maybe someone can come up with a small 
2-meter dipole/beam to mount on a pole.
