Saskatchewan man calls International Space Station

You may have texted relatives on the other side of the planet, made a long distance call from a jetliner or used your cellphone to read emails.

But have you ever contacted someone aboard the International Space Station?

Well, that's what Murray Crandon did recently, and he did it with an old-fashioned ham radio.

Crandon managed to contact wealthy American space tourist Richard Garriott, who responded to ham radio calls while orbiting in the international space station last Monday.
