Throughout the\nday, my satellite and ISS demonstrations were generally well attended. \n\nThe hamfest officially opened at 8.00am local time (1500 UTC), and\nas the hamfest started I was already working an AO-51 pass. Then\na large crowd followed me outside for a VO-52 pass around 1720 UTC.\nThanks to KG7EZ, AA5PK, and W7JPI for following me around the \ndownlink for our quick contacts. \n\nThere was a scheduled ISS contact around 1820 UTC, through a ground\nstation in California. I was outside the exhibit hall for that, \npicking up the signals around 1823-1824 UTC and hearing the remainder\nof the contact from that point. I was only using an IC-Z1 HT and my \nElk Antennas 2m/70cm log periodic, with a loudspeaker plugged into the\nHT, which was more than enough to let the crowd hear Mike Fincke's side\nof the QSO. The ISS came by again around 2000 UTC, and the cross-band \nrepeater was on. More QSOs then, as well as two SO-50 passes and an\nAO-51 pass around 0030 UTC to wrap up my demonstrations and the \nhamfest. At 0100 UTC, there was a barbecue dinner - very good food!\n\nDuring the day today, I had two other hams who helped cover the \nAMSAT table when I went outside for the demonstrations. Thank you\nAlex XE2BSS/N2IX and David XE2DAK from the Red Digital del Noroeste\nradio club in nearby Mexicali. This is the club that I gave an \nimpromptu presentation for on Thursday evening, recently formed and\nawaiting the issuance of its Mexican club callsign. Along with Alex\nand David, two other members from the club came out to the hamfest to \nvisit the AMSAT table and see the other stuff at the hamfest - Antonio\nXE2SIV and Eliseo XE2TPJ. There were lots of hams stopping by, many \nof them \"snowbirds\" from the colder parts of the USA and Canada that \nlive in and around Yuma during the wintertime. \n\nAlex XE2BSS/N2IX has posted another web page with photos taken today\nat the Yuma Hamfest:\n\nhttp://www.xe2bss.org/yumahamfest.html\n\nAgain, this is a \"work in progress\" as he goes through the photos\nhe took along with other photos. The text on the page is in Spanish,\nso Babelfish or Google's web-page translation service can be your \n\"friend\" if you need it translated to English or some other language. \n\nIn all, WD9EWK was on 6 different passes Saturday from grid DM22qq - \n2 AO-51 passes using the normal 145.920/435.300 MHz V/U transponder, \n2 SO-50 passes, and one pass each for VO-52 and the ISS cross-band \nrepeater - along with hearing the ISS school QSO. I logged 43 more \nQSOs today, for a total of 61 QSOs at the hamfest. As of tonight, \nI have logged 152 QSOs from grids DM22 and DM32 in Arizona, \nCalifornia, and Baja California since I left Phoenix on Wednesday. \nSo far, a fun trip - with one more full day to go before heading \nhome. More activity is planned from somewhere on the FM birds and \n*maybe* VO-52/FO-29, probably still in DM22, on Sunday.\n\nA special thank-you needs to go to Richard KC2LGR and the Yuma Amateur\nRadio Hamfest Organization. I was approached last summer by members \nof this group, asking if I could bring an AMSAT table to this hamfest. \nRichard and the group allowed me to set up a table, display AMSAT\ninformation and merchandise, and were very helpful for whatever I\nneeded over the two days. The location in Yuma - near a freeway and\nwithin 3 to 4 hours' driving for many hams in Arizona, California, \nas well as northwestern Mexico - could help things improve in the \ncoming years. I had good crowds for most of the demonstrations, \neven on Friday. And did I mention the great food at the barbecue \nthis evening? :-) This was a good hamfest, put on by a lot of \nhard-working people in the ham community in and around Yuma, and I \nhope to return in 2010.\n\nGood night, and 73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Calexico, California\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n", "attachments": [] }
