made a "reasonable" showing last pass on fo29. Low elevation passes are difficult to impossible with portable gear. I will QSL upon request. Low elevation pass are difficult to impossible with my portable gear. I can not get on all available passes. Must go fly a kite on the beach with grand daughter. Hopefully more to follow, will advise on the bb or via k4feg. 73 Bob W7LRD/7 CN77

AO7 switch?
by k4feg 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Well I am definitely going to try and make the "wee hours of the morning" pass of AO7, to see what Mode it is in. AO7-a was loud and sometimes distorted, but it was weak at others. I am uncertain of the switch time at this moment but it should be easy enough to nail it down once the satellite has settled in to a better illumination angle with the sun. I for one will be happy to have the "Old Girl" back into her familiar operational mode of switching every day and having clean audio from the satellite. If anyone has some current information as to when the mode switch is, I would be interested in knowing when that time is! 73 All FRM K4FEG

CN77 update

good news! I will be using my IC910 with arrow. I will be in CN77 late on 8/5 through 8/7. My earlier priority of XYL, grand daughter, dogs, then ham radio still holds. (pending delicate negotiations). This will open up the linear sats. Here you are Drew!. I am not sure of email (internet) however I do have Franks (K4FEG) cell phone and he can advise those interested via the bb. If I can get down to CN76 remains to be seen. It is just a speck of a grid square. Linear birds- I will maintain my tx frequency and if too busy (qrm) will listen +/- to speed up Q's. 73 Bob W7LRD soon to be CN77

I will be in CN77 (on the beach) from late on 8/5 till 8/7. So armed with a IC-W32A and a arrow, I will attempt to hand out that grid square on SO-50. The priorities will be XYL, grand daughter, dogs, ham radio. Probably in that order, I'm sure you understand. I will be testing my stuff this afternoon from home, CN87. 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle
