I returned a couple of days before the fire started and as of today, 30+ cards have been mailed. Aside from cards to Mexico, any that have not gone out yet have at least been sent e-mail. Aside from the usual problems with weekend AO-51 passes (especially in the morning), things went pretty smoothly, aside from a couple of minor equipment glitches. The Pacific/Mountain zone folks seemed to be good about not crowding the transcontinental passes. Pacific passes were lighter than i would like but still productive, and alas, i missed hearing several West Coast stations that i would have liked to have worked. Local geography made Hawaii passes impractical but at least i worked one Alaska station.
So after a week or so, if you haven't gotten a card or an e-mail from me, please send me an e-mail with the particulars of the contact and i will get a card out to you (assuming i have you in my log and/or voice recordings), and as noted before, SASE not necessary.
73's and good luck! -- KD6PAG (Networking Old-Timer, Satellite QRPer)
P.S. Next unusual grid should be a couple of AO-27 passes from CM86 (Santa Cruz) on Saturday afternoon, 2 June 2007. Possibly also CM79 in late June, weather and schedules permitting.
P.P.S Reminder: US postal rates have gone up again; they are now $0.69 for Canada and Mexico, $0.41 domestic. If anyone who sends SASE wants to trade some Canadian or Mexican stamps for US stamps, please let me know. (If i get more requests than i can use, perhaps i'll facilitate set up some kind of stamp exchange.)
