1504 UTC pass on January 3 was quite loud - and long - here in western NC. (Supposed to have been only 36 degree pass, but I suspect that isn't correct :-) ) Philip N4HF On Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 9:13 AM, Alan P. Biddle apbid...@united.net wrote: According to the morning numbers from Space

A nice strong pass over NH around 1500z. Many telemetry frames decoded and forwarded. The little guy is still going strong! Oddly, the doppler predictions seemed to be pretty close today even at its highest point when the frequency changes most rapidly. Is there low solar activity or

Yep, It just takes a little dedication. I was operating VERY casually this year mostly only on Ao-27 and a little on SO-50. The result for 2011 is: 470 QSOs, 41 states, 175 grids. Keep trying, folks! And good work Clayton! 73, John, K6YK On Mon, 2 Jan 2012 21:42:10 -0600 Clayton Coleman
