    "content": "Hi!\n\nFor this evening, I was originally planning a quick drive south of Phoenix to\na location on the DM42/DM43 boundary for the 0235-0250 UTC AO-51 pass:\n\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=33+n+111+44.267+w&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=0&ll=33.325939,-112.000122&spn=1.025813,1.928101&z=9&iwloc=addr\n\nI did this once recently, and knew there might be some interest in DM42.  This\npass was going to be a very nice pass for Arizona, where the satellite would\nhave a maximum elevation of 89 degrees for that location on the DM42/DM43\nboundary.  Once I made it to that spot and saw I had a lot of time to spare, I\nquickly looked at my GPS receiver's map and decided to go to a different\nlocation for the pass.  I ended up going a bit to the west, and parked on the\nDM32/DM42 boundary:\n\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=32+52.758+n+112+w&ie=UTF8&ll=33.316758,-111.950684&spn=1.092493,1.93634&t=h&z=9&om=0\n\nThis location is along Arizona route 84 west of Stanfield AZ in Pinal County,\nbetween Phoenix and Tucson near two freeways (west of I-10, north of I-8).\nSpecifically, in grids DM32xv and DM42av, or 32.8793 N 112.0 W per my GPS\nreceiver.\n\nOnce I got to the spot and assembled my portable station, (IC-2720H and Arrow\nAntennas handheld Yagi - the same setup I just used on 12 January for a\nhamfest demonstration), I waited for the satellite to appear.  I could hear it\nwithin 30 seconds, and it was strong!  One problem appeared quickly... I could\nnot hear myself through the satellite.  After a couple of minutes of trying\nunsuccessfully, I changed radios.  I went to my trusty IC-W32A handheld, and\ntried again.  Still, nothing!  I could not hear myself, and nobody else could\nhear me.  At this point, 6 minutes into the 15-minute pass, I am getting\nfrustrated in the middle of the desert.  I make another change, to a Maldol\nAH-510R telescoping whip on the IC-W32A.  I could hear the satellite just\nfine, as at this point it is almost directly overhead at the middle of the\npass... and I was finally heard through the satellite!\n\n>From this point on, I was able to make 11 quick contacts in the next 8\nminutes.  I worked a couple of Mexican stations, one guy who saw my hamfest\ndemo last weekend (he was in Tempe AZ, about 45 miles north of my location),\nand others sprinkled across the USA.  It was really nice to hear AO-51 on\nafter its recent problem, and it was very strong!\n\nI still need to take a close look at my Yagi.  I am hoping the problems with\nthe VHF elements are only related to improper assembly in the dark.  I tested\nthe IC-2720H on local 2m repeaters around Phoenix on my return to the city,\nand it worked fine.  I had my Elk Antennas 2m/70cm log periodic in the back\nof my car, but to assemble that during a pass already in progress would have\nkilled the remaining time I had.  At least I was able to get on the air and\noperate from the 7th different Arizona grid via satellite since I caught this\n\"bug\" in late 2005 (DM32, DM33, DM34, DM42, DM43, DM44, DM45).\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - back home in Phoenix AZ\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
