    "content": "Hi!\n\nSaturday (8 January) morning at the Thunderbird Hamfest in \nGlendale, Arizona, was a great time.  This is the only indoor\nhamfest in the Phoenix area, and there was a good turnout.\nAt different times in the late morning, I had some help at \nthe AMSAT table from Israel AD7ND (I still need to get him on\nthe satellites) and Rick K7TEJ.  Both are in the radio club\nthat organized the hamfest, and worked at the hamfest during\nthe morning.  Since I didn't have anyone else to help with \nthe table, I had no opportunities to go outside and do any\ndemonstrations until an HO-68 pass around 1722 UTC that \nmorning.  Or so I thought...\n\nThis HO-68 pass would have been the best pass to demonstrate\nSSB operating.  It was a pass with maximum elevation of 89\ndegrees at the hamfest site in grid DM33vo, and I had my \nportable SSB satellite station ready - Yaesu FT-817ND as my\ntransmitter, Kenwood TH-F6A as my receiver, and Elk Antennas\n2m/70cm log periodic as my antenna.  I set my radios where I\nnormally would to start out on an SSB pass for HO-68, and \nsent some dits toward the satellite.  I heard nothing.  As I\nam doing this, I'm talking with the crowd who followed me \noutside, and we still heard nothing for several minutes.  I \nkept with the CW for a few more minutes, until after the \nmidpoint for the pass, before I stopped.  I hoped there were\nno problems with my gear, and ended up taking the rest of the\npass time to answer questions about satellite operating in \ngeneral and SSB satellite operating specifically.  Then we \nall went back inside the hall, and I was able to relieve Rick\nat the AMSAT table.  \n\nThanks to KD5QGR's web site, I saw a few others had already\nposted they didn't hear HO-68 on that pass.  I was relieved to\nknow that I wasn't the only one who heard nothing from the\nsatellite, and added my report on that site.  It would have been \na really nice pass for a demonstration, seeing some of the calls \nlisted for HO-68 around that time.  Oh well...\n\nDespite not having any successful demonstrations for the morning,\nit was a good day for spreading the word about satellite operating.\nThe ThunderBird Amateur Radio Club, the hamfest organizer, was\nhelpful as usual in making room for AMSAT at their event.  This\nwas the 4th straight year I've had an AMSAT table at their January\nhamfest, the last 3 being indoors on the Thunderbird School of \nGlobal Management campus.  \n\nMy next hamfest where I will bring an AMSAT table will be the two-\nday Yuma Hamfest and Emergency Preparedness Show in Yuma AZ on 18-19 \nFebruary.  Thanks to those who were hoping to hear WD9EWK on passes\nSaturday morning, and my apologies for not being on the air anywhere\nduring the hamfest.  \n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n",
