International Space Station - Expedition 25

After making a QSO with Col Wheelock aboard ISS, I hear a familiar voice and callsign as Tom KA0TP makes a QSO from work.

Check out the incredible photos from space posted on TwitPics by astronaut Col Doug "AstroWheels" Wheelock, International Space Station Commander of Expedition 25.

  • Hi David! Love your videos......I need to get some more uploaded to the Tube myself. I have been a little lazy with the vids as I recently had a hip replacement. So glad I did it......no more pain!....I am trying to put together a video editing rig, and was wondering what you use to edit your videos. I am also a ham. My call is KD8DHH, I am a general class operator. I want to thank you for what you are doing for the hobby. Good DX & 73' de KD8DHH

  • @KD8DHH - Thanks for the input and kind comments! I use a Canon HF20 digital camcorder, a FlipUltra or Apple iPhone to capture video. I use a MacBook Pro laptop and either iMovie, Final Cut Express or the FlipShare editing software to edit and process the videos. Hope that helps! 73 - David / KF7ETX
