Good afternoon!
It was a nice surprise to find our picture on this month's ARRL National Park on the Air newsletter! I am humbled by the mention.
I'm also happy to see that some of our trips and portable operations are helping to promote AMSAT and their goal of ”advancing the state of the art in space science, space education, and space technology.”

Hi!
The ARRL just released the July issue of their National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) newsletter for National Park Service staff and volunteers. These newsletters are at:
http://www.arrl.org/npota-for-nps
and the July issue is available at:
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/NPOTA-News/NPOTA-July2016.pdf
On the last page of this month's newsletter is a short mention of one way to deal with an "uncooperative ionosphere" - work satellites. It shows Fernando NP4JV working a satellite from the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona. If you follow Fernando on Twitter - he's @NP4JV, or visit http://twitter.com/NP4JV to see his Twitter activity - you would have seen the photo that appear in this newsletter on 1 July, when he went up there and worked some passes. Congratulations, Fernando!
73!
