(I'm now at 249 grids worked and\n> 182 confirmed.)\n>\n><list omitted>\n\nThanks for the mention in the list you posted, along with\nthe other stations. I enjoy working the radio, if I'm in a\npark, parking lot, or (recently) in the back yard at home.\nI'm happy that I could contribute to your grid counts in\nthe relatively short time you've been working the\nsatellites.\n\n> My point with this list is not only to thank these friends\n> for their effort, but to also illustrate that there are a lot\n> of people going the extra mile to improve their skills by\n> operating away from their home QTH.\n\nYes!\n\nThere are challenges in operating from different locations.\nAssembling the equipment, trying it out, being able to travel\nwith the equipment.... there is a bit of technical skill that is\nneeded to do this. There's Dave KB5WIA, who had to hike\nin and out of the spot he operated from and being in 4 grids\nsimultaneously. I am looking forward to his presentation at\nthe upcoming AMSAT Symposium, to see what he did in\npreparing to go up there. Or guys like Jim ND9M and Yuri\nUT1FG working all sorts of satellites from ships. K8YSE's\nroad trip through northwestern Ontario with a complete\nsatellite station in his pickup truck - TS-2000, antennas with\naz/el rotator, and computer. I pack a complete station in a\nlaptop bag I carry on aircraft, and add an Elk log periodic\nin a checked suitcase - which have seen activity from all\nover the USA as well as from Canada and Australia.\n\nStuff like this may not be the same technical challenge as\noperating through a satellite at 35000 miles up, but there\nis still a technical challenge in successfully working the\ncurrent crop of satellites we have from different locations.\nIt's something that can be done today - if you're willing to\ngive it a try. It's fun, and can be addictive.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n", "attachments": [] }
