Normally the Arizona\nheat is a dry heat, but there was enough humidity mixed with the \n104F/40C heat that I didn't stay out there the whole afternoon. I\nworked two AO-27 passes, followed by one pass each on FO-29 and AO-51, \nbefore heading back to Phoenix. Before and after that quick road trip,\nI did some operating from my \"home QTH\", a Phoenix city park on the \nDM33xp/DM43ap grid boundary. I will send out QSL cards from yesterday's \nactivity tomorrow morning. If there isn't an SASE in the envelope, \nthere's no need to send a card back to me. For a few, I have included \nan SASE, as I would like to receive your QSL card in that case. I \nuploaded yesterday's QSOs to LOTW last night, and have seen a few \nQSLs out of those QSOs already. \n\nBefore I drove out to DM32xx/DM42ax, I tried AO-7 in mode A from\nthe city park in the morning. I had played around with this during \nField Day last month, and I was determined to complete a QSO this \ntime. I had no problems hearing the downlink using an FT-817ND \nwith a Buddipole portable dipole in an \"L\" configuration on its \ntripod and 8-foot mast. I heard Leo W7JPI calling CQ. He was \nvery easy to hear, and I proceeded to line up on his frequency.\nAfter a couple of minutes, we made a quick QSO. Thanks, Leo, for \npulling me out of the noise! I need to work on either more antenna \ngain than what I have from my FT-817ND and Elk log periodic on the \n2m uplink, or more transmitter power, so I can have a better signal \non the mode A transponder. Or just confine my attempts to higher \npasses, as yesterday's pass was only up about 19 degrees from the \nhorizon. \n\nDuring the AO-51 pass just after 2200 UTC yesterday afternoon out at \nthe DM32xx/DM42ax boundary, I worked KO6E for my 10,000th satellite \nQSO as WD9EWK. Thanks, Merv, for the quick contact - even though I \nwasn't in Utah, Nebraska, or any of the other places you were looking \nfor on the satellites. \n\nWith the exception of possibly a dozen or so of the QSOs, all have been \ncompleted with portable equipment and not from a home/fixed station. \nExcept for a pair of QSOs on SO-35 in 2000 and one QSO on UO-14 in 2003, \nall of my satellite QSOs have been made since December 2005, when I \nfirst worked AO-51. Lots of hot summer afternoons (like yesterday), \nsome cold days, and some nights - all out trying to make QSOs, and \nhaving fun. :-) \n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
