Hopefully I'll be\nable to work a pass or two between working the Club table & browsing.\n\nSee you then\n\n73 \n\nClear Skies\n\nRick Tejera\nEditor SACnews,\nPublic Outreach Coordinator\nSaguaro Astronomy Club\nPhoenix, Arizona\nwww.saguaroastro.org\[email protected] \nK7TEJ, AMSAT 38452\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)\nSent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 20:41\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Saturday @ Mesa AZ hamfest\n\nHi!\n\nThanks for all the QSOs during demonstrations I gave at the \nSuperstition Amateur Radio Club's annual hamfest in Mesa, \nArizona, yesterday. I worked 2 passes each on AO-7, VO-52,\nand HO-68, along with one SO-50 pass. I apologize if you \nwere trying for me on the SO-50 pass around 1719 UTC, as I \nwas chatting with Leo W7JPI and Larry WA6DIR, who both made \nthe trip to Phoenix for the hamfest during that pass. \n\nDuring the VO-52 passes, instead of using my normal SSB satellite\nsetup (two FT-817NDs), I used only one of the 817s with the all-\nmode receiver in the Kenwood TH-F6A tri-band HT. I bought this \nradio a few weeks ago, using the $100 Kenwood voucher I won at the\nAMSAT Symposium a couple of months ago (thanks to Kenwood and the\nSymposium organizers in the Chicago area for that, and all of the \nprizes they had on offer), mainly to make use of the all-mode \nreceiver to shrink the size of my SSB satellite station this way. \nThe 817's SSB receiver at 2m and 70cm is better than the all-mode \nreceiver in the TH-F6A, but the little HT works OK. The HT makes\na huge impression on the audience, seeing an FT-817 and an HT as \nthe station I'm using for SSB satellite work. It will go in my \ncarry-on bag with the other stuff I take on trips where I work \nsatellites. \n\nThe crowds - buyers and sellers - were larger yesterday than in the\npast several years. At 0615 local (1315 UTC, about an hour before \nsunrise), there was a line almost a half-mile (almost a km) long to\nget into the hamfest. Traffic was backed out onto a street and \nalmost all the way to a freeway interchange, just to get into the \nhamfest in the dark! It's been a long time since I've seen that at\na Phoenix-area hamfest. Along with W7JPI and WA6DIR, a couple of \nother satellite regulars stopped by my AMSAT table - John N7JK, and\nRick K7TEJ. Thanks to the Superstation Amateur Radio Club for \nproviding AMSAT a space at their hamfest!\n\nIf anyone who worked WD9EWK during the hamfest wants a QSL card,\nplease e-mail me with the QSO details. I'll get a card out to you,\nif you're in the log. Thanks again to all, and 73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK \nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
