    "content": "Ah yes, the dreaded WAS from the NE. While I have a substantially better\nchance of being able to make the QSO to HI, AO-7 and I do not get along. I\nam a bit better on RS-44 but have not attempted low angle passes on it.\n\nThere is needing the perfect pass, which seemed to be spaced quite a bit\napart, and someone there that is willing and able to work said pass. Even\nthen, it is a tiny window of mutual footprint.\n\nHEO would make it more possible. GEO might feel like cheating!\n\nOn Mon, Aug 10, 2020, 14:54 Wes Baden via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Any ideas about the following? My QTH is in Maine, FN54, 120 feet ASL.
