Hi all- I'm relatively new to sat operations/ but not ham radio(novice in 1987
then general in 1996), and noticed this message. I've been researching alot and
now have suitable equipment for working birds. How would I go about finding
someone(s) to schedule a few contacts with, as opposed to calling cq to no-one
inparticular? Any info/help is greatly appreciated... 73 - Mike - k8mcb
