    "content": "Hi!\n\nI was in Tucson on Friday (17 April) evening, to give a presentation and\ndemonstration on satellite operating for the Oro Valley Amateur Radio Club at\nits monthly meeting. There was a nice turnout for a Friday evening meeting,\nwith 57 in attendance. My presentation came during the middle of the meeting,\nand then about half of the crowd stuck around for the demonstrations I gave\nusing SO-50 and AO-73 after the meeting wrapped up.\n\nEven though I had my presentation ready to go before Friday, I was happy to\nmodify it to include the very recent announcement about the transponders for\nFox-1C through Fox-1E that came out Friday morning. I also talked about our\ncurrent satellites, along with a little bit of history - how our amateur\nsatellites fit into the wider history of the Space Age.\n\nAfter the meeting, I had my station set up on my car in a parking lot. I used\nthe AmsatDroid Free tracking app on my phone to know where to point my Elk\nantenna, and set up two of my tablets running SatPC32 so the crowd could see\nthe satellite's location and footprint during each pass. This wasn't something\nI planned, but it seemed to be a good use of those devices. The crowd liked\nit.\n\nI had two passes available in the hour following the end of the meeting - an\nSO-50 pass around 9.18pm (0418 UTC), followed by an AO-73 pass at 9.51pm (0451\nUTC). The SO-50 pass was a popular pass, seeing 6 QSOs logged with stations\nin the central and eastern parts of the continental USA. Since the Catalina\nMountains were to the east and northeast of the meeting site, my LOS came a\nfew minutes before the predicted LOS time. AO-73 went directly overhead, away\nfrom the mountains, so I had most of the predicted pass time available. I\nworked two stations on that pass, both in Texas. This allowed me to show the\ndifferences between FM and SSB/CW satellites, and the differences in operating\ntechnique (i.e., CQing on AO-73, but no CQing on SO-50). Thanks to everyone\nwho worked WD9EWK during these two passes!\n\nI uploaded the QSOs from these passes to Logbook of the World last night. I\nwill be happy to send QSL cards to anyone who worked me, without receiving a\nQSL card or SASE from you. Please e-mail me directly with the QSO details. If\nyou are in my log, I'll drop a card in the mail.\n\nEven after the two passes, I was answering questions for up to 90 minutes\nafter the AO-73 pass. This made my drive home later, but worth it. The evening\nweather in Tucson was nice, not hot or cold, and I was happy to stick around.\nThanks to everyone at the OVARC, especially Steve Wood W1SR (he invited me to\nFriday's meeting) and Bob Molczan KA7VPR (club president), for a great time\nFriday evening!\n\nThis concludes 6 straight weekends I've done AMSAT-related activities around\nArizona and southern California. All of this has been fun, but I will gladly\ntake next weekend as a break, before I go to another hamfest in Sierra Vista,\nArizona (southeast of Tucson), on 2 May.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK\n",
