As it turned out, I jinxed myself with that post. Stood at the ready during
the pass and heard nada Thought maybe the transponder was turned
offAt about the midway point I noticed one of the micro-coax connection
points to my (uhf) yagi was broken.
Will have to fix that ah well.

FYI, I will try to be on the transponder during this evening's 2314z pass.
It's an 80 degree pass here in NJ. I'll be handheld using my VX-5R and
homebrew dual yagi and homebrew diplexer. I hope some others (beside Paul!
;-) ) will join me.

Bill, I worked the 4/23 0320z and 4/24 0347z passes.
Did not try last night as I was operating W1AW/2 on 20/40m CW.

Would like to try again tonight at 0301z, but I am portable/handheld
so impending
rain may preempt.
Sorry for the confusion. Doesn't look great tonite, with over 80% chance of
rain at the time of the pass, but we'll see. At any rate, to clarify - 11PM
eastern, 0300z.

Not much activity last night. Worked a couple. I'll give it another go
tonight at 0347 (a nice 70 deg. pass) for those interested. And perhaps
again on Friday night 0307z (85 deg).

Weather permitting (portable), I hope to be on the SO-50 FM repeater as
W1AW/2 during tonight's (approx) 0320z pass (11:20PM Eastern time) for
those interested. I hope to do the same on the following night as well
(0347z AOS).
