I heard AO-51 on the 0152z pass here in Las Vegas, NV and finally heard the signal when it was Northwest of this site and pretty weak. I know the 435.150 in in QRP mode during this pass. Just curious, how much output is it?

Randy, WI7P was just on AO-27 from Ketchikan, AK CO-45. About 2245Z Thursday. Maybe he'll show up on AO-51 tonight? If you need it, keep an ear peeled!
Indeed, he was on one of the evening AO-51 passes. In addition, KL1WE & W6HF are also returning from Alaska to California; as well as AK, you can later look for YT and also uncommon-to-rare BC grid squares. So do not neglect Pacific passes on AO-51 and SO-50 for at least a week or so and also AO-27 (albeit in Alaska, one can't hit it before the telemetry if one is too far north).

Remember, AO-51 is in mode J-FM on the 'QRP' side (435.15/145.88) this week. _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
