ISS ham radio is active!

Astronaut Kjell Lindgren has been using the ISS crossband repeater the last few days to make random unscheduled contacts and I made contact with him this afternoon! This is not very common but you should be ready in case it happens. My contact is at 03:41. I'm using the Arrow II antenna with a Kenwood TM-V71A radio. Frequencies below...

Note the pic of @astro_kjell in the video is from 2015 with the old Ericcson radio. They have customized Kenwood TM-D710GA radios now.
