    "content": " Thanks for the QSOs yesterday, Patrick, especially that tough western AO-91 pass!  Also, thanks for the reminder about W5SAT. I do have a message packet from him with his Field Day exchange on my D72 from that first FalconSat-3 pass, so I have one more QSO (and 3 more points) than I had thought. \n\nThanks and 73, Ryan AI6DO\n\n\n    On Sunday, June 23, 2019, 5:37:13 PM PDT, Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]> wrote:  \n \n Ryan,\n\nFirst of all, thanks for the QSOs during the day yesterday. Especially the\nAO-92 L/V contact just after noon. I was getting concerned with being able\nto make an official Field Day QSO on that pass, after working two others\nwho were not giving Field Day exchanges. It was also good to get you on\nAO-91 and FalconSat-3 later in the afternoon.\n\nI drove to a Forest Service day-use area at Cataract Lake, west of Williams\nin northern Arizona. Northern Arizona had the best weather for Field Day\nthis weekend than in the past few years, with the temperatures up there\nnever exceeding 75F. My plans were like past years - work both HF and\nsatellites, and have fun doing it. Even though this site is near Williams,\nand not far from the I-40 freeway, I had no data service on my mobile\nphone. The phone worked for voice calls and SMS messages, so I used SMS\nmessages to tweet during the day. I don't have my Twitter account set up\nto forward tweets to my phone, so I was unable to respond until I was in\nFlagstaff for dinner last night.\n\nIt took about 2 1/2 hours to make the drive from Phoenix to Williams, and\nI knew that there was an SO-50 pass coming by a few minutes after the start\nof Field Day at 11am (1800 UTC). As expected, a busy pass. I heard John\nK8YSE operating as K8OU through his Arizona station, and that was my first\nField Day QSO. I did not use an HT for this pass; I had my Icom IC-2730\ndual-band mobile radio, jumpstart battery, and Elk log periodic in a\nclearing near my site. Five watts, and even 15W, would not work on this\nand the other FM satellite passes I attempted yesterday not using the 1.2\nGHz band.\n\nAbout an hour later, the one AO-92 pass in the L/V mode for Field Day up\nthere. I heard Chris VE7CEW initially, but couldn't get back to him for a\nQSO. I worked W5SAT and N6NUG before landing a Field Day QSO with AI6DO. I\nused my two-radio, two-antenna L/V setup like I normally use at home. It\nworked well as I pointed across the lake and made QSOs, easier than last\nyear's Field Day when I had a smaller 5-element Yagi on top of my Alinco\nDJ-G7T. I did not try to adjust my transmit power on my DJ-G7T to its low-\npower setting of 300mW on the 1.2 GHz band, keeping it at 1W for the best\npossible signals I could send to the satellite. And as the AO-92 pass went\naway, a very high AO-91 pass came over. Back to the IC-2730, and I cut the\nstring holding the 1.2 GHz Yagi on my Elk, as the AO-91 pass started. Many\nthanks to Carlos W7QL for a QSO near the end of that pass!\n\nAfter the AO-91 pass, I set up my HF station - Elecraft K3S running on my\njumpstart battery at 50W, and a Buddipole dipole. I made some QSOs on 20m\nSSB before another group of satellite passes came by - PO-101, ISS, and\nthen a low AO-91 pass to my west.\n\nPO-101 had a good crowd, but not as crazy as the earlier AO-91 pass. I was\nable to work Rick VE4AMU for a Field Day QSO. After that, W0IN in Missouri\ncalled me, and I made the exchange. Shortly after these QSOs, I switched to\nthe ISS digipeater. Unfortunately, it was off, so no ISS packet this Field\nDay. AO-91 was coming up for the west coast, and I went on there to help\nanyone looking to make their Field Day satellite QSO on that satellite.\nAI6DO was there, and we made a quick QSO. This won't count for me, as I\nmade my AO-91 QSO for points earlier, but I might be a QSO that gets\nanother station their 100-point bonus, or their Field Day QSO on that\nsatellite.\n\nNow up to almost 2pm (2100 UTC), I started working 20m and 40m SSB, until\na nice FalconSat-3 pass an hour later. I logged a couple of packet QSOs\nwith AI6DO and Brad W5SAT in Las Vegas on that FalconSat-3 pass. This time,\nW5SAT was ready with a Field Day exchange in the APRS message I received\nfrom him. I had two more FalconSat-3 passes that I worked, just before 5pm\n(0000 UTC) and 6.30pm (0130 UTC), with a single QSO on each of those\npasses.\n\nI tried FO-29 at 5.30pm (0030 UTC), but one station was overpowering the\ntransponder really bad. After a few minutes, I gave up on this pass.\nI didn't bother to try other SSB passes since it was getting late, and I\nneeded to ensure I left the site by 8pm (0300 UTC) before the gate was\nlocked. I overlooked the NO-84 pass just after 6pm (0100 UTC), a mistake on\nmy part, since packet QSOs using APRS messages have been good for me in\npast Field Days. I stayed out there to copy the ARRL's W1AW bulletin on 20m\nSSB just before 7pm (0200 UTC), and then I wrapped up my Field Day effort.\nI went to Flagstaff to get some dinner, then drove home after that.\n\nDuring the afternoon, I would periodically check the 10m and 6m bands for\nactivity. Nothing was heard on those bands most of the day, but a little\nbefore 5pm (0000 UTC) W3AO - a group that loves to put lots of transmitters\non the air for Field Days - was barely coming out of the noise. After 2 or\n3 minutes of back-and-forth to get information exchanged, I made a QSO with\nW3AO. This was my first Field Day QSO on 10m in a few years, and worth the\nextra effort to make the QSO. :-)\n\nI still need to get my logs prepared for both ARRL and AMSAT Field Days,\nas there will be some satellite QSOs in my log that won't count for\npoints in each event. My Field Day QSOs have already been uploaded to\nLogbook of the World. If anyone wants a QSL card for a QSO from yesterday,\nplease e-mail me directly with the QSO details. I will be happy to send a\ncard, without first receiving a card or SASE from you.\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\nTwitter: @WD9EWK or http://twitter.com/WD9EWK\n\n  \n",
