Supposedly this mountain is 500' higher than anything else \naround it, has 360° unobstructed views, is miles from the nearest power \nline, and has a somewhat respectable Jeep trail to the top. If such a \nmystical spot truly exists, I plan to hang out for a few hours and \noperate the following passes from the site:\n\n2016-01-17 1529z SO-50\n2016-01-17 1649z AO-73\n2016-01-17 1700z SO-50\n2016-01-17 1736z FO-29\n2016-01-17 1758z AO-7(B) (Big EU Footprint)\n2016-01-17 1848z SO-50\n2016-01-17 1918z FO-29\n\nFor western hemisphere chasers, I will try to hand out anyone needing \nEM35 on all birds other than AO7. There's plenty of passes on both \nlinear and FM, so I should get you in the logs no problem, even if the \nmountain turns out to be a bust.\n\nOn the AO-7 pass at 1758z though, as it will only be 1.6° in elevation \nfrom this location, I will be using it for something a little special. \nI'll be using a couple of precision clocks and cameras in order to \nrecord actual AOS and LOS times, and compare that to the times that the \ncomputer calculates for my location. As I've indicated before, I have \nsome theories of just how much elevation can affect satellite \nvisibility, but I'm always trying to collect more data to back these \ntheories up. As soon as I can get into the bird I'll begin CQing in SSB \naround 145.945 and will continue until I have lost it again some minutes \nlater. The computer says I should have 7 minutes and 18 seconds of \nvisibility, but based on my observations, the Height Above Average \nTerrain (HAAT) of this location should grant me an additional 55 seconds \non the front and about 45 seconds on the end of the pass. I would \nappreciate any listeners out there with bigger footprints that I will \nhave (if they're not chasing new contacts that is) to note the time they \nfirst hear me, and the time that I disappear into the noise, and email \nme with the results. I would also welcome any DX stations to stop by and \nhave a quick QSO, if they're interested in picking up a new grid that I \ndon't believe any Sat operators live in. Normally it's our friends \nacross the pond that us Americans are chasing after, so I'm going to do \nmy best to return the favor when I can, with trips like tomorrow.\n\nAs always, I'll be providing play-by-play on Twitter @KG5CCI. I may also \nthrow an HF rig in, for the downtime between passes and I'll announce my \nspots on Twitter if I do. Twitter will also be the way to find out if \nsomething goes horribly wrong with the plans, such as the mountain is \ninhabited by silver coveting dragons and I have to trade my N-connectors \nfor my life.. or snow.. but more likely dragons.. anyway..\n\nHope to hear you tomorrow.\n\n73!\n\nDave, KG5CCI\n\n", "attachments": [] }
