I did here AO-51 on that pass. I got in late on it. Footprint was not on L48 anymore. I did make some calls hoping for someone in Alaska. I did hear some Russian stations and called them but their signal was fading in and out. I have worked them before and we have exchanged QSL cards. Anyways it was functioning ok.
