Grandson's thrill at RS0ISS contact

Bob Wertz, NF7E, says his grandson’s contact with RS0ISS was the high point of the Get On The Air (GOTA) station at the Northern Arizona DX Association Amateur Radio Club Field Day site.

As time for the pass came around, Wertz’s 11-year-old grandson Mike called the ISS, while Mike Key, K0MDK, aided by a compass, aimed skyward a 2-meter beam that he and his daughter Julie, KE7DEX, had cobbled together from PVC pipe and coat hangers.

Bob Wertz says “It was quite a thrill for all of us. It made our day!”
