FJ/N2IEN
by Paul Stoetzer 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Good morning, Early this morning, I worked FJ/N2IEN on Saint Barthélemy on SO-50. This is a relatively new DXCC, only existing since 2007 (it was part of FS prior). This may be the first satellite operation from that DXCC entity. The group will be there until Tuesday. See: http://www.dx-world.net/fj-n2ien-fj-ww2dx-fj-w2rest-barts/ 73, Paul, N8HM

Thanks a bunch, David! Great QSO on SO-50 just now, too. Still would like HRD to have both transmit and receive frequency, but this will get me going. 73! -- bag On Feb 13, 2015, at 15:16, David W0DHB <dave(a)w0dhb.net> wrote: Hey Bryan For LoTW to recognize a SAT qso from any logger In HRD Logger SAT tab fill in satellite name <image001.png> In Propagation Tab set to Satellit <image002.png> Band should be set to Uplink Band <image003.png> This will also work for eqsl Make sure this box on Ant/Sat tab is unchecked or SAT name and propagation mode are reset after enter Is clicked <image004.png> -----Original Message----- From: amsat-bb-bounces(a)amsat.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bryan Green Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 2:41 PM To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Ham Radio Deluxe, Satellite QSOs, and ARRL LotW Question: Who here uses Ham Radio Deluxe to log Satellite QSOs and then uploads them to ARRL LotW?

Sorry, here it is again Subj: [CDXC] Very latest from K1N Date: 2/13/2015 4:13:40 PM GMT Standard Time From: CDXC(a)yahoogroups.com To: CDXC(a)yahoogroups.com, GMDX(a)yahoogroups.co.uk Sent from the Internet (Details) A storm is brewing within the next two-three days. Everything that needed re-loading onto “Electra” has been finished. Mike NM6Z, Tomi KT4TTT & George AA7JV are safely on “Electra” and will be leaving Lulu Bay within the next few hours to get out of the way of the storm. High seas are expected, but this will not affect helicopter off-loading, except for maybe a passing squall. The 6M station and antenna are now packed. There will be one helicopter flight today to carry back camp construction supplies and unneeded items. Two people will be on that flight, leaving ten men on Navassa. We expect full radio operation to continue until daybreak Saturday, when the SteppIRs will be taken down and all stations packed except for the three that will remain on the air until daybreak Sunday. Saturday we expect three helicopter flights out by the end of the day. Left behind will be Craig K9CT, Jerry WB9Z & Glenn WØGJ to man the stations. Their personal gear will already be off the island. The only thing to do Sunday morning is to pack the radios and take down the dipoles, as the helicopter will arrive early Sunday morning for the last flight. Maybe some of this is a repeat, but the “evacuation plan” is looking good. We’ve had so much fun and wish we could stay….but we all want some REAL showers and a REAL bed….and to see our families!!! Even with 125,000+ QSOs it is amazing that the pileups yesterday were almost as fierce as the very first couple of days. 73, Glenn WØGJ [Col MM0NDX, EU Pilot, K1Navassa] __._,_.___ Posted by: Col MM0NDX <dxer59(a)gmail.com> Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) Visit Your Group New Members 3 • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use . __,_._,___

Wonderful Kid and Space Video
by Larry Koziel 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

I ran across this short video on DX-World.net: http://www.dx-world.net/like-2/ or on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxU1ZhINaHk. It was done by MTN Group, a South Africa mobile telecom company, but what a terrific heart-warming portrayal of a kid's aspiration to talk to an astronaut in space and to become an astronaut himself.
