I can say that on Chincoteague Island, across from Wallops, there were
thousands of people there to watch. The causeway to the island was a traffic
jam. There is definitely still some interest.

My short video of it from the south end of Chincoteague Island..
Nothing like that but I did get wiped out on an AO-51 pass by strange up and
down oscillations on receive. I couldn't hear a thing over it. I later found
out it was an AWAC plane flying down the coast Really weird. 73, Don

Hi Damon,
I'd like a QSL for EM53. I'd be happy to send you a SASE for it. Thanks for
all your travels. What were you using for an antenna?

For those looking for FM27, I'll be on the FM Easy Sats on Saturday the 13th
and possibly Sunday as well. I'll probably be operating from the beach of
Assateague Island IOTA NA-139.
Hope to see you there,

Hello all,

daylight
Hello all,
I'm new to satellite and I'm going to try my first QSOs on AO-27 during it's
daylight passes. Last weekend I listened to AO-27 on my tower mounted 432 beam
but for this I'll be setting up an arrow antenna on a tripod and an ft-736r.
I've had the arrow for years but never got around
