For the SIMPLEX:
The SIMPLEX burn is an 18 foot per second dual OMS burn. The burn will be radial up (tail to the Earth) such that the burn plume will be observed by the Arecibo ground station.

ABC Radio is live.
Liking Gina's questions. Flyaround and how Atlantis is doing on her second to last mission.
This crew note the teamwork of the crew, no words for Atlantis (sobs

)
Then the expected baby and thankgiving question. Also one for Nicole on painting. Paint kit remains on ISS. How they find American rules football in space.
Mike Foreman's last spacewalk. Again the "proud of the team" comments come back.

Tampa station on, journalist had a fan moment, gets excited on hearing Nicole recognize him, saying Nicole is his hero

Nicole says she wasn't ready for the darkness of space and the brigtness of Earth. Tying to look out of the window as often as possible.
Nicole plans to head home the next day after landing. Might get to go to a class reunion.
This reporter is a huge fan, really nice guy (anyone know who he is? Russell someone).

Another local station on, but don't realize they are on

We've got dead air folks! Maybe not, might of been on an adbreak. This is obviously live.
Station is local to Randy.
Food questions.
How the mission has gone.
Baby questions.
Randy answers the "being in the ISS is the only excuse for missing a birth" with "we need to remember the 1000s of military who are in the same situation."

I'm not at home in Tampa right now so I didn't catch the local event, but if it was a Russell, you are probably referring to Russell Rhodes on Fox 13. He is a nice guy and is a fantastic on-air personality.

I don't think MaxQ did the NASA Thankgiving video. It's VERY 1987!
