If I caused QRM to others today during this pass, mea culpa. I do not know the source of the local strong tone that oscillates in/out. 73 George WA5KBH PS I hope I am not labeled a 'lid'!

Great to hear you John. Thanks for the contact and I hope you made your 10, it sounded like you were doing well.

The pass is 86 degrees elevation for me and I will be filming to hopefully make a video for my YouTube channel. I hope to make at least 10 contacts so I can get credit as an activator.
I have never activated for NPOTA before nor have I been at the receiving end of a pileup on a satellite. Not sure that I will be, but I kinda want to be, and if so I will appreciate your patience.
