Re: [ARISS-ops] July 4 Greetings
by Clint Bradford 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Thanks, Wayne, for your message! I attended a local "celebratory" event for the date - but we have to get back home to tend to our horse and burro ... we have folks who shoot off illegal fireworks nearby - much to the dismay and consternation of our "big guys' ears." (What - Clint's has a "burro?" - I hear you think ... Yes - and you should ask me what my burro's name is ... ) Edward R. Burro. I use this fact in my AMSAT presentations. "For those of you who have read my online bio, yes, I do own a burro ... " Those in the audience who are UNDER 50 years of age think I am saying, "Edward, our burro." But those of us who are over 50 or 60 - and/or know a little about journalism, KNOW the reference. And so it goes .... Clint, K6LCS

Patrick in Canada

>> ... I did not hear the first 30 to 45 seconds of the 7-minute repeater time, being so far north ... I had forgotten that it wasn't set to turn ON until past half-way of its pass for me in DM13-Riverside CA. I left the freq, and looked for a friend on a terrestrial station (g), then came back to a VERY LOUD AND CLEAR SIGNAL from AO-EWK, er, AO-27 ... Clint, K6LCS http://www.work-sat.com

So if you are interested in attending this live, online one-hour session that shows you ... - how to manually program your Yaesu FT-60R - battery charging tips - antenna replacement recommendations - and tries to answer any other questions YOU have ... then send me a couple of dates/times that you have open in the next couple of weeks. Let's get as many session in before I need to pay for another month's subscription! Let's not clog up this messagegroup with replies - please privalely email me, or leave a voicemail message at the number below. When we get closer, we call tell this group the definitive dates/times. Max of 15 attendees per session (that is a GoToMeeting restriction). Clint Bradford, K6LCS 909-241-7666 - cell

Hi! Change of plan... no view of the sky below 30 degrees elevation in all directions @ CO60/CO70, so I moved to CN79/CO70 for today. Still looking to try for CO60 before midweek. Going on VO52 shortly... Patrick VA7EWK/WD9EWK - Campbell River, British Columbia http://www.wd9ewk.net/
