Hi Robert, and yes, that was me asking if that was you, as just caught the last
of your call before the bird shut off. It had a cutoff time of 2015 utc, so it
hadnt gotten over the top of you yet. The HO-68 crew put in next weeks schedule
for the bird, but it is all Linear SSB/CW modes, no FM. What I have to do here,
is print out my SAT32PC WinAOS printout for 7 days, and then compare their
schedule with what my printout says so I can determine when it will be active..
But at least I did hear you for a second, so maybe next time. The bird as great
footprint, it's just they always turn it off (by software) when it is good for
us here in the West. Also on board today was VA6BMJ, WC7V, N7HYN and myself.
Maybe next time?? 73 de John

Hi John
I've never worked 68 before but I just tuned to it minutes ago
and heard voice and someone asked if that 'was me robert?
The bird seemed to die right then althought he beacon was
functioning OK Just I need to study that bird a bit more and
try my luck. If you happen to see something give me some warning
and I will glad to give it a try.
