Not sure if this has been reported anywhere on this forum:
Amateur Radio in Space Pioneer Astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL, SK
I heard a contact on December 5 1983 with a tracking station here in Australia, where he worked their amateur radio station who arranged a phone patch to Houston to test what they referred to as "the backup ham system". I have a recording here (of his side of the conversation anyway) and subsequently received a QSL card for a reception report.
