> Today at 4:47 pm local Hawaii time I will work a 9 degree > pass with a foot print extending into the state of Arizona.
And Ron showed up this evening on AO-51 as planned. W6ZQ made at least 9 QSOs that I heard, including QSOs with Robert NH7WN in Honolulu as I started hearing the downlink and also with Craig KL4E in Alaska a minute or so before I lost the downlink.. Just like last Friday evening, tonight's AO-51 pass was a chance to work two different Hawaiian stations on different islands - and different grids. Ron - thanks, again, for spending part of your vacation on the radio. With you and Robert on the passes, it has been nice to have these opportunities to hear activity from out there. Robert - I owe you some other grids around Arizona, which I can get to in time for some of these passes in the late afternoons (Hawaii time). 73!
