Hi! As I'm getting ready to make the 45-minute drive from Calexico CA to the hamfest at Yuma AZ, I wanted to post a little more about my exploits (along with Larry KI6YAA and his son Kevin KJ6DDS) yesterday... It took longer to get paperwork yesterday morning in Mexicali. Instead of a 5- to

Hi Robert, and yes, that was me asking if that was you, as just caught the last of your call before the bird shut off. It had a cutoff time of 2015 utc, so it hadnt gotten over the top of you yet. The HO-68 crew put in next weeks schedule for the bird, but it is all Linear SSB/CW modes, no FM.

Peter..downlink or uplink??? if you heard us, then you had the downlink. The uplink is 145.825 with 67hz PL. Yes, Robert NH7WM was there at the last second, but no QSO was held, as the bird did its auto-shutoff at 2015 utc. Guess we'll just keep trying, as it is a challenge, otherwise it

[amsat-bb] Friday afternoon @ Yuma (AZ) hamfest...

2010-02-19 Thread Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)
Hi! The first day of the two-day Yuma hamfest got off to a nice start. Even for a Friday, there were more people and more vendors and exhibitors compared to last year's hamfest. Having two of the big amateur-equipment manufacturers doesn't hurt things, along with good weather. The AMSAT table
