About 135 QSOs before I remove AMSAT dupes. This is\nabout double what we did last year; very happy about it. I'd like to give\nkudos to folks who stood out in my mind over the weekend:\n\n- The ops at W5RRR (JSC club). QSOs on 7 birds, CAS-4A @ 1539 6/24 UTC was\nVERY SPECIAL. A young man who is very interested in ham radio at the\nmike. You were his 1st satellite QSO, and he was double excited when I\ntold him where you were. You made this kid's day! Thank you sirs.\n\n- K4BFT and VE3YRA - you guys were everywhere with solid signals. We\nworked BFT on 11 satellites (missed AO-7) and YRA on 10 (missed AO-7,\nAO-73). We worked several other stations with great signals on multiple\nsatellite, these 2 stood out in my mind.\n\n- N8HM. Paul, how you do it with 2 817s (fully manual) and hand-held\nantenna continues to amaze. Thanks for the QSOs.\n\n- The ops on an early Sunday FM satellite pass (I forget which one). You\nwere remarkably disciplined, even by FD standards.\n\n- The many ops who stayed with us to complete a QSO despite QRM, low\nelevation angles, jumpy AO-73 transponder, or insufficient caffeine in me\non Sunday morning. My apologies to anyone I stepped on or became \"that op.\"\n\n- Customer support at Yaesu in California. Murphy struck on Thursday; I\nbroke a cross boom U-bolt on my rotator while getting ready. I called\nYaesu; their customer service rep checked with their technician and they\nshipped a replacement to me. Which arrived Saturday! (I was worried it\nwould not arrive in time and found a substitute locally that worked OK for\nFD). Excellent customer service.\n\nThe number of satellites this year made for interesting times when one pass\nstarted while another was underway. We had QSOs on every CW/SSB or\nFM-capable satellite except AO-7 Mode A and AO-92. Weather was very wet\n(rained all day Friday and showers on Saturday) and a severe t-storm 1 hr\nafter shutdown on Sunday (2 shelters damaged but no injuries thankfully!).\nAll the satellite QSOs and Sunday gorgeous sunrise and morning made up for\nit. I still need to get digital modes working (can copy NO-84 and FS-3 but\ndon't have uplink working) and build an L-band antenna for AO-92. And not\nwait until early June 2019 to get started!\n\n73 de KS1G (K4LRG op)\n", "attachments": [] }
