Worked W5PFG and CO6CBF on the pass. Satellite sounded great as it always does. With my Arrow and 2 FT-817s, I was able to locate my downlink with the satellite at about 1.5 degrees of elevation. My signal was plenty loud at about 2.5 degrees. 73, Paul, N8HM On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 8:53 PM, Paul

Good evening, I will be on AO-73 tonight at around 02:58Z, calling CQ at around 145.965 MHz. These passes usually don't have much, if any, activity and I'd like to drum up a bit more. The satellite will enter sunlight at 03:05:45, giving about 7 minutes of transponder time here in Washington, DC.
