That was a really cool contact. Thanks again John. I was working portable with a IC-821 and Arrow for tx and an old HTX-100 and 10 meter dipole 2 feet above the ground for rx. I was so happy when I heard you come back to me.

The mode A transponder seems to be in really good shape the last few days.

Anyone interested in trying some contacts on AO-7 mode A? The
transponder has been in great shape the last couple of times I worked it
but no luck catching anybody on there. Just an occasional whistle or cw
paddle of someone trying to find their signal. I am in DM04 and can work
the bird consistently in that mode on passes 25 degrees elevation or more.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend.
