It's fun to work satellites and meteor showers.  I'm hoping that after my foot 
gets fixed and I go back to work that I can afford to get a small home with a 
backyard where I can put up a few antennas and have room to do more ham 
radio-related things like work satellites.

I did work the ISS once using a handheld 2m rig and a handheld tape measure 
Yagi.  It was fun!
