Patrick, Just made a contact with 4C1JPG on AO-51 around 2218 on a 70 degree pass here in northern CA. They had a good signal into AO-51. There were several other contacts made with 4C1JPG on that pass. 73's - Tom Tom Deeble - KA6SIP MDARC Membership Chairman ka6...@aol.com

Kevin, Hawaii is possible but passes on AO-51 need to be close to the 1/2 way point between the west coast and Hawaii. Last September my wife I went to Oahu and I operated from the entrance to Diamond Head. I was able to make a contact with Glenn, AA5PK, in Texas from there. We figured that

Zack, In the discussion of two vs one - I found a new way of screwing things up today. I was trying to operate via AO-51 this afternoon and was never making it into the bird even though I was receiving fine. Turns out I still had the 440 side of the IC-W32A selected as the main radio which

Greetings, It looks like operation from BL02 (Kauai) will work. Earlier this afternoon I made a contact with WC7V, Kerry in Montana, on a 1.5 degree pass here. Looking at the new HO-68 schedule and the AO-51 passes, I'll try for the following seven passes: Sunday, 9/19 HO-68: 9:54 - 10:03
