    "content": "Hi!\n\nThe AMSAT table at the Superstition Hamfest in Mesa AZ was\nsuccessful.  Lots of traffic by the table, sales, and good crowds\nfor the two AO-51 demonstrations (1615 and 1755 UTC).  I,\nalong with Gerry VE4GTB/KD7MDB and Larry W7LB, had a\ngreat time with a real AMSAT table with AMSAT stuff along with\nthe satellite demonstration(s) for the first time in at least a couple\nof years for a Phoenix-area hamfest.  We also had some help\nfrom an AMSAT life member, George W7ON (my father-in-law),\nwho lingered around the table striking up conversations and\nalso answered questions from passers-by.  AO-51 regulars Leo\nW7JPI and Ron W6ZQ stopped by throughout the morning; nice\nto see them make the drive from southern Arizona to the Phoenix\narea.\n\nThe first demonstration was a great AO-51 pass, at 1615-1630\nUTC.  With the satellite up to 80 degrees elevation, it was good\nfor us with lots of activity across North America (10 QSOs).  The\n1755-1805 UTC pass, a westward pass with maximum 9\ndegrees elevation, was pretty good (3 QSOs, plus I heard a\nMexican station toward the end of the pass that I could not make\na contact with).  My station was an IC-2720H mobile radio at 15W\ninto my Arrow Antennas handheld dual-band Yagi (using a\nDiamond duplexer, to handle the higher power output).  From the\nradio's speaker jack, I strung an external speaker away from the\nradio for the crowd to listen in, along with a small earpiece so I\ncould hear the radio and a Sony digital recorder to capture the\nactivity on these passes (and log the contacts later).  Larry W7LB\nlistened to the activity with his FT-817 and Yagi, along with the\ncrowd around the external speaker.\n\nI had thought about trying at least one VO-52 pass during the\nhamfest, but never got around to it.  We were talking with people\nfor much of the morning, I didn't get my FT-817 out and try to work\nthat satellite like I saw during the AMSAT demos at Dayton earlier\nthis year.  There will be other chances to do that.\n\nWe are looking to have an AMSAT table at 3 other Phoenix-area\nhamfests in the next few months, and we will try to do demos on\nAO-51 provided the schedule is compatible with our equipment.\nMaybe other satellites, if those passes are compatible with these\nhamfests and the equipment we have.  I'll post more information in\nadvance of those hamfests, and hopefully we'll hear you during\nthose demonstrations or see you at the hamfests.\n\n73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Phoenix, Arizona USA\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
