Comments:
WD9EWK operated from in front of my house for ARRL Field Day 2022.
The original plan was to (hopefully) work NA1SS on the International
Space Station. I tried on one ISS pass Saturday morning just as Field
Day started, but no NA1SS. I worked a station through the ISS cross-
band repeater. Sunday morning, I made a satellite contact through AO-91
around 1645 UTC, and then tried for the ISS on a pass around 1800 UTC
over the western US. NA1SS was on, and I was able to log "1E DX" from
the ISS. Only 3 contacts in the log, but it was still fun to get on the
air during Field Day. My QSO with NA1SS can be heard in the video at:

(WD9EWK QSO with NA1SS starts around the 1:37 mark)
For Field Day, I used a Kenwood TM-D710GA 2m/70cm FM mobile
transceiver, along with an Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic
antenna. The radio was powered by a Bioenno 12V/30Ah LiFePO4 battery,
and my station was set up in the street in front of my house. As I
don't have a fixed station at home, I was working portable - something
I normally do on satellites. My score includes two satellite QSOs,
along with the NA1SS QSO, and bonuses (100% Emergency Power, Satellite
QSO, and online submission).
73!
