Mike, If you are going to work from EN67, the best spot to work the birds is from Brockway Mountain. It's just outside of Copper Harbor. Don't try driving there with a motorhome or 5th wheeler. Look for Brockway Mountain Drive, just outside of town. They don't like folks doing satellite work in the parking lot at the top of the mountain. But just ask the folks in the store at the top and they will let you know where you can set up. Give yourself some time to check the view from there and keep an eye out for some of the big lake boats that travel there. Another suggestion is to try the broiled lake trout at the Harbour Haus Restaurant in Copper Harbor. 73 de Doug KA8QCU ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Rudzki" n8mr@hotmail.com To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2010 19:00 Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: K8E in EN57 and EN67 (was no subject)
Damon,
If you were on AO-51 this afternoon/early evening, the callsign was K8E. We are in EN57 (Eagle Harbor, Michigan) for the week and are planning to travel up to EN67 one day this week. It's supposed to rain on Monday, so that may be out.
I am using two HTs and an Arrow Antenna. I don't use FM sats that often, so I take it SO-50 and AO-51 are my best choices, since HO-68 is in SSB/CW mode this week.
QSL via N8MR, if you want to confirm.
73, Mike, N8MR
