I have a recording of his contact with the Orroral Valley tracking station, with the phone patch to Houston (well, his side of the conversation anyway). I don't know if that was his first contact from space and the general contacts happened afterwards though.
Recorded 5 December 1983 when I was working in Mildura, and I subsequently filed a reception report with the ARRL and received a QSL
