This is really exciting, Michael! We're delighted that the FM transponder is working. With such a big footprint it will be a remarkable experience for newcomers and oldtimers alike. For my part, my QTH in Maritime (Eastern) Canada will have a 3 deg. elevation view to the XW-1 at the same time that Moscow, Russia has a 3 deg. elevation view. Imagine that FM to FM! 73, Bruce -- http://ve9qrp.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
