We will try again this Saturday Sept 5, 2009, likely jump window is between 
noon and 2:30 PM California time. Will be aloft over Byron CA. 

Will announce on K6MDD through two meter repeater about 30 minutes prior to 
liftoff. Will make the world's first DSTAR parachute mobile call to Tim K6BIV 
to thank him for K6MDD and then work the rest. I am hoping for moderate winds 
on Saturday. Safety has to come first and if winds are over our limits we will 
probably have to postpone again.

We can take higher winds in a freefall jump but it leaves very little time for 
comms. If I do a freefall from 13-14K I'll open around 3K and try to get a few 
QSOs done, but I have to quickly focus on getting back to the DZ, avoiding 
other canopies and setting up my landing approach.
