The grid must be in the USA , but the contact may be in the Mexico side of the grid it is ok DL80 will not count Damon WA4HFN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clayton Coleman" <kayakfishtx(a)gmail.com> To: wa4hfn(a)comcast.net, "Rick - WA4NVM" <wa4nvm(a)comcast.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 1, 2014 11:03:03 AM Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] AWARD Damon, Can you clarify something for me? It says "in the U.S.A." which to mean means the contact with a person in DL-land must be someone in one of the grids DL79,DL89,DL88,DL98,DL99 that are in Texas, USA. A contact with someone in DL80 (Mexico) shouldn't count, right? I think keeping it so that the grids have to be in the USA makes it a little more challenging. I like the idea of using SSB as a requirement, too. 73 Clayton W5PFG On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 10:31 AM, <wa4hfn(a)comcast.net> wrote: > The Got Grids ? award is now active who will be #1 > Good luck to all > > http://www.starcommgroup.org/gotgrids.html > > The Star Comm Group wishes everyone a Happy New Year > WA4HFN em55 > Damon > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Many thanks to everyone who helped me with the doppler question and also the IC9100 PC control. I have successfully connected IC9100 and Satpc32, so hopefully on the next satellite pass - doppler shouldn't be an issue. Happy New Year to all Peter G8KEK
