Aloha all
AO-51 flies by Hawaii at a max. el. of 4 degs
at 0203Z this afternoon. In order to spot the bird I will have
to head to the beach but it might be worth it!
The footprint will cover the entire western U.S.,
extending to Hawaii. My intent is to
be on the air. Hope to hear the
Thanks to Robert NH7WN for the new grid and new state on AO-51.

Here's a nice video posted by KP4WK using a tape measure antenna to work
AO-51. I'm also heard working AO-51 while driving in my car.

Cori and I will be at the BVARC Greater Houston Hamfest tomorrow; hope to CU
there. Once we leave the 'fest, we'll head north a bit, and I'll operate from
the EM20 / EM21 line during the 06/2339Z AO51 pass.
Sunday (7 Mar) should find us on the EM22 / EM23 line for at least one
(probably both)
