portable... EN54
by Vince, K9TSU 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hey guys.. I'm portable in EN54.. Wisconsin for the night. I had some trouble with the power lines on the last SO50 past.. but this next one around 11:30pm Central time looks better for me at 55 degrees above my horizon. Look for me... I know it's kind ofa late pass, but I manually track the satellite so QSO's going on helps me "hone in." THX :) K9TSU
