W1AW/7 from DM33/DM43 for SO-50 passes today
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Hi! I will operate as W1AW/7 from the DM33/DM43 grid boundary in Phoenix for the two upcoming SO-50 passes, at 1933 and 2114 UTC. This is the spot where I used to work satellite passes for many years. I will be on AO-73 as W1AW/7 from my back yard - DM43 only - for the next pass at 1820 UTC, before I head out and set up at the grid boundary. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/
