Partial Success with ARISS Contact!

I have been having trouble with my Moxon Yagi as well as with the mic connection of my IC-2730A radio recently. Moxon Yagi was checked today and has SWR around 1.4 on the uplink frequency of the cross band repeater of Amateur Radio on International Space Station (ARISS). I was getting good access to local VU2CSR repeater on low power. But friends reported that my audio is breaking off. The mic cable seemed to be partially damaged and I tried to mend it with insulation tape. There was an Easter pass of International Space Station just now with maximum elevation of about 48 degrees. I kept my fixed elevation-azimuth Moxon Yagi pointed in that direction and started listening. I could hear a station very well during the middle of the pass and I tried calling back. Once the other station asked whether it is me, but a good complete QSO could not be obtained. So this is only a work in progress, I would say! Here is the curated pass recording.
