Hi! I just uploaded 3 more videos to my channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/va7ewk from my late July trip to Baja California. One video from an FO-29 pass at grid DM21jw on 29 July 2010, and two videos from AO-7 and FO-29 passes at grid DM22gp on 30 July 2010. Thanks to the 3 cameramen

Joe, Mine arrived relatively recently. For years I have noticed that I get magazines, newsletters, etc, not just the Journal, significantly later than others. One of the mysteries of snail mail and living in the country. Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From:

You know that it still costs only 3 cents to mail a letter (same charge that was made during the Civil War). The remainder is for storage costs! Glen, K9STH Website: http://k9sth.com ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are

Dave - Thanks for the reminder - I forgot about the 74.4Hz turn on tone - I had a quite pass last night -- I was hesitant to transmit until I heard somebody on the downlink. Then I tried a test call (with the 67hz on) - and did not hear my downlink -- adding to the puzzle. jesh - yet another

Steve, I believe AMSAT is sending the Journal, and I don't remember claiming they weren't. I also know it quite often doesn't get here. It is the only piece of regularly scheduled mail I have trouble with. I suspect the postal service is having problems between me and AMSAT. I was just
