    "content": "Hi!\n\nAfter I finished up at the office this afternoon, I went to my\nfavorite city park (the park that straddles the DM33xp/DM43ap grid\nboundary where I do much of my satellite operating) to work an \nAO-51 pass around 0108 UTC followed by an AO-7 pass around 0207 \nUTC.  I thought about trying the cross-mode repeater on AO-51 to \nwork CW, but decided to stay on the normal FM repeater.  I worked \n5 different stations from central Mexico to western Canada, and \nheard a couple of others.  The AO-7 pass in the next hour was \ninteresting...\n\nAt the start of the pass, I found myself on the transponder and  \nmade a few CQ calls in SSB.  No responses, but there were a few CW\nsignals - even above the middle of the passband.  I did not have a \nstraight key with me, so I did the next best thing to have something\nthat would work as a straight key.  I turned off the keyer in my \nFT-817ND, which turned my small Mini-Paddle into a straight key of \nsorts.  The lever that normally sent dahs did nothing, but the lever\nfor the dits functioned as a straight key.  Now I could work Straight\nKey Night for the first time in the 32+ years since I got my first \nham license... and I'm trying it on a 35-year-old satellite, with a \npaddle-turned-straight key on my portable all-mode satellite station \n(two FT-817NDs, Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic).  \n\nGlenn AA5PK in west Texas found me within a minute of my first CQ\ncall.  I was able to tap a quick QSO with him, followed by another\nQSO with Kerry WC7V in Montana.  Sorry if my CW was tough to copy;\nit's been a while since I worked CW without using a keyer, and \nsending it left-handed on a vertical straight key while holding my \nantenna was something I had never tried before.  :-)  I should have\nrigged up a camera to either snap some photos or record video while\nI did this.  After my QSO with WC7V, about halfway through the pass,\nCW signals were spreading out across most of the passband.  I heard \na couple of SSB signals, and switched back to SSB for the last few \nminutes of the pass.  I worked Larry WA6DIR and Bob W7LRD before \nAO-7 went away.  \n\nThis was a fun way to start the new year on the UTC clock, before\ngoing home and watching assorted New Year celebrations on the TV.\nQSOs in FM, SSB, and CW; working through two different satellites.\nHappy 2010 to all, and 73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK \nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n\n",
