I would like to have joined you Sebastian but Irene blew my satellite array down :( I had my main HF tower in hurricane mode, but nothing else to do with the sat antennas. Funny thing is Irene didn't have much of a punch till after it made Landfall 40 miles from here about 6 am. The antennas blew down sometime in the early afternoon after Irene was past. The trailing winds 6 hours later were stronger then the leading ones! Very strange. So now I'm in a rebuilding mode. I should be back on the air in a few weeks...

I hadn't tried the SSB transponder in a while, and decided to give it a go. Once I found my downlink, it was loud and clear throughout most of the past. Called CQ for several minutes, but no takers. Those who haven't tried it, really should. 73 de Sebastian, W4AS _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
