so if i just floated back that way and

10
00:00:29,269 --> 00:00:28,080
then made a right turn that's where we

11
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:29,279
have our

12
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:31,119
our amateur radio system over in the

13
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:32,559
european segment

14
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,000
and let me just tell you about my first

15
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:36,000
experience with that in space i got an

16
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:37,360
email that there was going to be a field

17
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:39,440
day over the united states and they said

18
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:40,719
hey if you want to try to make contact

19
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,160
from space this would be a great first

20
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:44,480
way to make contact so it was a saturday

21
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:46,160
afternoon i went down to the columbus

22
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:48,239
module i powered up the ham radio and i

23
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:51,120
made one call as we went over california

24
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:53,199
and for the next 15 to 20 minutes i

25
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,480
couldn't get another call out because

26
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,079
there was just hundreds and hundreds and

27
00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:58,559
hundreds of of amateur radio folks

28
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:00,800
calling up to me and it was great it was

29
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,239
so much fun that i went back and did it

30
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,559
a few more times and and now i do it

31
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:06,479
about once a week so i think ham radio

32
00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:08,080
is great it's a great way for kids to

33
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:09,600
