On the 2000Z AO-27 pass i was on this pass and i hear 2 folks discussing about a hamfest and they seems to be on a trunking system as we can copy clearly the "trunking tone" at the beginning of their transmission. AO-27 was over the eastern side of NA. If someone is aware of an amateur trunking like repeater this can give a clue even if the path of AO-27 was covering near all North America...
I believe that pass went directly over me here in South Bend. So, all things considered, I would think the station is in or near Chicago.
P.S. with 50W on a 14 elem cross yagi their signal capture mine!!! at a time!!!
Much of one of the passes yesterday (can't remember which anymore) was just a dead carrier locking almost everyone out from about mid-pass till the data download.

Nice to contact you yesterday. You ran a pretty good string of contacts. I have you in the log at 2006 and heard you making a bunch on a later pass while I was mostly listening.
