Roger,

Congratulations!

I was using the same theory, as looking at the ISS Fan Club website, I saw 
there was a lot of voice activity! Knowing this, and seeing ISS was active 
on previous pass you worked, and packet off, chances were pretty good for a 
voice QSO!
Well, When ISS was at 1 degree to my south horizon, I put out a blind call 
to NA1SS. Next thing you know Mike was calling me!
Had a GREAT 2 minute QSO and asked Mike about ISS standard time.
He said they go by GMT.

You can listen to my contact on my web site.
