    Thanks for the info. Listening to him from Kerry worked quite well with a 20+ year old Icom and a simple quarterwave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvAUBKWybvo
    Unfortunately the people at school he was talking with seemed to have some problems copying him, but still quite an interesting experience...

    Yup, I listened with the kids in the car on the school run.

    first time they've shown any interest in radio at all, definitely more than 80m whinging about licence progression or QRM on 20m!

    There's something about space exploration that gets people's attention. I remember listening to the Russian cosmonauts talking back to ground from Mir around 25 years ago.
