If you find errors or omissions. please contact me off-list at
<mycall>@<mycall>.com and I'll revise the announcement.
This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf listings
for the two months. It's a visual comparison so omissions
are possible. Apologies if your call was not mentioned.
Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are rarely
on the birds. They are doing a lot of the work!

We seem to have lost incoming e-mail from certain domains again. One step forward, one step back.
Today's grids were BK38 on AO-91 (no takers) and later on from BK28 on several passes but with QSOs only on one CAS-4B pass and the two RS-44/CW passes. We're passing KH6 now and will continue through BK18 and BK08 overnight and then come into AK98 at midday (late UTC) on 5/1. I'll try AO-91 again, but it seems to be my private satellite for the time being! After the new UTC day on 5/2, I should be able to get on from AK98 and hit land on the back end of the CAS-4A/B passes around 02/0300Z; both openings will be brief, but maybe I can get AK98 into a few logs at that time. After that, RS-44/CW passes at 02/0424Z and 02/0616Z will get me to a chunk of the Left Coast; the second RS-44 pass should have me in AK88. 73/Jim, ND9M
Looking at the FO29 schedule for the month of May, it should be on for the
following passes at my QTH for the next week:
May 2 0214-0222 8.3 degree pass
May 4 0210-0217 7.7 degree pass
May 5 0255-0309 21 degree pass
I am going to try to be on for those if anyone else wants to give it a
try! It would be great to make some QSOs again on this old sat!
