at 7:10 pm local time, I was on the top of the house. Preparing my radio equipments and my new 5 elements antenna. I was waiting for ISS pass in 13 minutes, so I talk to cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and wish him a Happy Birthday... he turned 47 years old today. He made lots of contacts this morning with lots of radio operators worldwide. So the chance to talke to Sergei was High!!!
I called on ISS, called again.. asking my sister to rotate antenna by hand and set it to iss directions while moving. I heard Sergei calling me BACK!!!!! Om My....! he heard me... he said my own callsign.... My God!!!!! I sent birthday greetings to him and congratulating for breaking the new space record... it was nice to hear his sweet voice in Radio.... om My!!! It's unbelievable..
now, I am editing my audio file (my radio contact's with My Idol, and I will post it... I promise...)
I am so happy

I'm so happy for you dear
Maryam,
I am so proud of you!. Your dream finally came true :-), you sound very clear while calling Sergei, I can hear you very excited, of couse I would have been too! ;-) Sergei didn't say much but still it is good to hear his voice and to know he's doing OK!. I can't wait you talk to him again. Thank you for sharing this audio file with us and it was good to know you congratulate Sergei for his 47th. birthday!, by the way his middle-age makes him look even more attractive ;-) lol what do you think so?. OK you Take Care and I send you my Best Regards (always).
"asking my sister to rotate antenna by hand" that was funny, was she dangling from the rooftop on to the street? :P
Alain: Thank you!! you helped me a lot!
Ayya: thanks, I am first Kuwaiti station to talk to ISS (International Space Station)
Monica: thank you, I forgot to send you greeting :/ I am sorry I was nervous, forgot to tell him lots of stuff. Yes, I think he is more attactive than ever, epecially the grey hair, love it ;)
Purg: Lol, she wasn't dangling. She was standing in her feet behind me, holding the antenna with wooden stick for safety and pointiong to the ISS while moving. She did a great job! with out her I won't be able to hear Sergei and talk to him
