ND9M/P: DM36 l DM37
by claryco＠aol.com 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

We took our time getting out of town (again) and missed most of the day's passes, but we're finally on the road and will overnight very close to the DM36 / DM37 line. If train allows, I should be to be on from the grid line on VO52 later tonight and again tomorrow morning. And if I get up easily enough tomorrow, I might AO51 in the 24/1100Z time frame. 73, Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC

Hi! I will drive out to the DM32xx/DM42ax grid boundary for a few passes this afternoon, starting with the AO27 pass just after 2000 UTC. Weather permitting, I hope to be out there for 2 to 3 hours before returning to Phoenix. If anyone who works WD9EWK at DM32/DM42 wants a QSL card, please e-mail me with the QSO details. If you're in my log, I will mail out a card. QSOs will also be uploaded to LOTW this weekend. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Maricopa, Arizona http://www.wd9ewk.net/

Re: AO51 22/2106z

Hi All, Thanks for all the responses and links. I thought the voc file was specific to RCA, but I guess not. I am working on converting it right now. Thanks for the help! Zack KD8KSN From: Zachary Beougher Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 9:45 AM To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Subject: AO51 22/2106z Does anyone by chance have that recording? I recorded the pass, but when I went to view the file, instead of saving it as a .wav it saved it as a .voc, which I cannot open (the recorder is a RCA VR5220). I cannot listen to it on the recorder now either since I pulled it off. Just one of those sporadic issues I guess. 73! Zack KD8KSN
