Jim, I was hoping to work you on SO-67 last night on the 0420 UT pass. I too did not hear the bird from DM33. Normally when it's on I pick it up right away once it comes over the hill.
I sent the ops a note indicating no joy. Hope to catch you on a later pass. 73 de Rick K7TEJ ---- "Clary wrote: > We'll be pulling into our destination port area in DM13 on Wednesday > morning.
