ARISS event -
Pilton Bluecoat Junior School audio
On Friday, 6th February, pupils at Pilton Bluecoat Junior School, in Barnstaple, Devon, had a successful ARISS contact with the International Space Station.
The contact was direct between stations OR4ISS and G0NPV in Barnstaple.
Cambridge-based radio ham Gavin Nesbitt M1BXF managed to record all but the very beginning of this contact.
Gavin's 9-minute audio recording can be heard here http://www.camb-hams.com/download-files/

Because of the distance between the school in Barnstaple and Gavin's QTH, only the voice of a rather enthusiastic Sandra Magnus, KE5FYE, can be heard in this recording. So, below we've included the questions Sandra was asked by pupils.
