Quick question for all.
I submitted for voice telemetry and SSTV certificates at the same time. I
received the SSTV certificate quite quickly but still awaiting the voice
telemetry certificate. I am presuming perhaps that SSTV may not be as
numerous as voice telemetry requests? I also finally was

Thanks to all that I was able to work from Washington, DC. I have worked
many new grids from many stations that have gone portable and I thought it a
great opportunity to give back and hopefully even perhaps offer FM18 as a
new grid for someone. I worked the 20:27 UTC pass from here with 2
Dave,
I have the same antenna restrictions here at my home. When a member of the
board has seen me outside my home working the satellites in my parking lot
he asked me just that, anyway you can put antennas in the attic? I try to
make it outside with my portable Arrow II or Elk setup but it has
Congratulations Zach! Thanks for being out there as well when you have gone
on your trips. I wholeheartedly agree that thanks are due to all those who
have made it possible for us to work so many grids in addition to their own
home grids. For example, I just recently got an envelope from John
I finally got an opportunity to try and work HO-68 again on the weekend.
Very tough during the week due to work schedule. I had a 65 deg at peak pass
over FN20un but was unable to hear the satellite at all during the entire
pass. Often I have a high 70cm noise level here so I figured it was

just wondering if others are seeing the same thing.
Thanks to

I had to share for the excitement was wonderful. I am usually unable to work
many satellite passes of any kind during the week but by chance on the train
ride home from work I noticed an 81 degree pass of HO-68 at its peak
elevation this evening. I had tried before to make contacts on this
I am relatively new to satellite work and want to venture into the linear
satellites. I hope that is the correct term for it. I was reading in the
AMSAT journal about half duplex operation however I am having a difficult
time imagining how that would work. Are there any recommended references I
