Fox Toledo TV carried a brief item on the recent amateur radio contact between the International Space Station and students at Bennett Venture Academy.

The YouTube description says

Students at Toledo's Bennett Venture Academy were able to interview an astronaut aboard the International Space Station Friday afternoon.

The students were able to communicate via Ham radio as the space station passed thousands of miles over Northwest Ohio.

Over 500 questions were submitted and 12 students were picked to ask Astronaut Robert Thirsk about 24 questions.
