Hi all, I know it is short notice! Tomorrow morning, I will be in a work trip to Matanzas province in EL93. I will try to operate on the 1828z AO-27 pass and if I find a place with a decent horizon view, I will try on the 2009z pass also. If anyone need this grid confirmed, please drop me an email and I will look for you. 73!

Teachers' Institute 2--Space in the Classroom
by Matt Severin 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi all, Next week, July 9-12, I will be instructing the ARRL Teachers' Institute 2 in Dayton, OH. We'll have 8 teachers learning how to set up and operate ground stations that they will be able to take back to their schools to use in their classrooms. Support from ARRL ETP donors, the Dayton Amateur Radio Association, and Yaesu have made this endeavor possible. We will be operating from about 1200 utc to 2000 utc each day, give or take a few hours. Our primary amateur radio satellites will be AO27, SO50, FO29, and VO52, plus we will try to capture data and telemetry from the many cubesats currently operating. Hopefully you'll have a moment to say hello and work a few of the teachers in my group. 73, Matt, N8MS

New AO7 world distance record
by Bill Dzurilla 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

I am pleased to report that Wyatt AC0RA and I broke the AO7 world record today with a GPS-measured 7849km QSO between JN88 and EN31 at 0955Z. Recordings of the 40 second QSO will be posted to my web page, see www.qsl.net/nz5n (I tried to attach but it seems attachments not allowed on this board). Wyatt did all the hard work by waking up at 3am, driving to a hill an hour away from his home, setting up his station, and working me before sunrise. It appears that an even longer distance is attainable, and Wyatt is looking for a suitable place from which we can try before I leave Slovakia in mid-July. My working conditions are an FT847, 2 x 10 element yagi on 2m with SP2000 preamp, and an 8 element yagi for 70cm. Feel free to email me for a sked. 73, Bill OM3BD NZ5N
