by Bill Dzurilla 21 Jan '11

And what about HO-68? I also asked a year ago and got the same answer that Joe did. But it still seems impossible to upload HO-68 QSOs to LOTW, comes back as "Invalid". 73, Bill NZ5N > Message: 3 > Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:15:08 -0600 > From: "Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield" <gary_mayfield(a)hotmail.com> > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: restating LOTW question > To: "'Jeff Yanko'" <wb3jfs(a)cox.net>, > <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> > Message-ID: <COL114-DS14DFAA6BBC9DB16684A9DB8AF80(a)phx.gbl> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > I did close to a year ago and they said they knew about the > problem, but > were busy with VUCC and web re-design.

Drawing winners
by Andrew Glasbrenner 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Here are our drawing winners so far. I'm picking up the drawings for Martha for a while so she can concentrate on some end of year activities (and some vacation). This way we can keep this fund drive rolling over the holidays. The winners so far are: $1000-$1250 Richard Lewis $1250-$1500 Eric Schecter $1500-$1750 Stephen Silverman and Charles Suprin I did get off a little bit counting things, so we did two drawings for the last interval. Since it was my mistake, Martha and Barry will have to dock my pay for the additional prize! Thanks to all the donors, especially Clint Bradford for his matching donations. If you'd like to sponsor a matching donation program, please email me direct at ko4ma(a)amsat.org. We still have a long way to go to close the ledger on ARISSat-1 and get FOX off to a good start financially, but this has been an excellent start. Remember,as a 501c3, donations to AMSAT may be tax-deductible, and the end of the year is rapidly approaching! Happy Holidays and 73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT-NA VP Operations
