Hi Dale!
I was glad to help out with your demo. I was doing other things and missed the first two passes. You had a great signal into the satellite.
I was hoping there might be a chance to hear you guys on the 1520 UTC pass, but I knew that would almost certainly be too early (0620 Alaska time).
Were you able to hear KL7DR and KL4E? I know they were both going to try.
Unfortunately you were the only one from Alaska I heard. I was hearing voices for a minute or so before I called you, but the satellite was still around 1-2 degrees elevation. When I called you and you responded, I had about 3 minutes or so of audio that all could hear clearly despite the static on the low pass.
Thanks again for coming up on that pass. I need to return the favor more often, if you or your Alaskan friends do presentations or demonstrations where the satellite footprint covers down to Arizona.
73!
