Who is Calling the ISS?


















"Who is calling the iss?" there first words was spoken by Sergei Krikalev when he answered my call via radio. Today I recieved my birthday gift from my friend Cor (PD0RKC). It was my QSL card with cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev coonferming my voice contact with him. You can see my radio callsign (9K2MD) and Sergei's callsign too (U5MIR) written on the back on the card with details about the date, time, frequency and type of the contact. I am so happy to receive the QSL card. Actually, this is my first QSL card that I ever got. This card is very special for many reasons.....

  1. this voice contact was my first time to use my actuall radio callsign
  2. it was the first time that I spoke with International Space Station
  3. I spoke to my idol Mr. Krikalev
  4. this card is my first card to recieve
the funny thing is that I spoke to Sergei on his birthday and recieving the QSL card for my birthday ;)

THANK VERY MUCH YOU COR!!
