"This is NA1SS, the International Space Station, over…”  Using the Ham Radio in the Russian Service Module, the Command Center of the ISS. Fyodor took this picture of me during another night of great contacts with operators in the U.S., Canada, and across Europe. A fun way to stay ‘connected’ with planet Earth. 73!

I'd like to know what you have strapped to your left leg. I notice there is velcro tape on the right leg, I assume it is to keep pens ans pencils or whatever from floating out of reach,
