Hi All, Thanks for the QSOs this afternoon. Needless to say I didn’t make as many as last time due to how busy the passes were. I don't know that I have ever heard a pass that busy. Wow!
I think the final count was about 15 QSOs on 3 passes. I know there were a lot of people that called that I didn't get to contact, but hopefully the majority were successful. APRS seemed to work okay today. Using the D7 and quarter wave I was able to get digipeated from the location I operated from, but coverage was very spotty on the way down and back. Cards will go out in the mail within a week, so no need for requests/return cards. 73!

You can track me via APRS here - http://aprs.fi/kd8ksn-9 The D7 will be off during passes. I will QSL everyone in the log, so no need for requests/SASEs. 73!

Instead of working 2 eastern passes and only one western pass, I thought I would switch it around. Here are the corrected pass/times: AO27 - 1952z (favors west) AO51 - 2012z (favors east) AO51 - 2149z (favors west) I will only be running 5w as usual, so please have patience, especially if the activity on the birds is anything like it has been the past month. 73!

I plan to be on the following passes from this boundary: AO27 – 1817z AO27 – 1952z AO51 – 2012z This trip will be a little shorter than last time, but passes should be a little more productive since it will be on a weekend. I will have the D7 beaconing in between passes - http://aprs.fi/kd8ksn-9 I will only be running 5w, or 6-7w if it is plugged into the vehicle, so I may not be on the internet depending on were I am in relation to a digi. I will QSL everyone in the log as I did last time, so no need for a return card/SASE. I will post a reminder as the time gets closer. 73!
