I better get busy on my antennas. I haven't reacquired a preamp yet and the elevation rotator on my homebrew "Saebretrack/OR-360" rotator system decided to go loopy the the other day. I was showing 180 degrees and the antennas were pointing straight at the ground! Won't work many that way! Anyway, great news about AO-16. Kudos to all who made this happen. 73, Michael W4HIJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Henderson" [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 5:03 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-16 Contacts 2118Z 1/21/08
Kudos to the AO-16 team....!!!!
I have been copying telemetry on this bird for a couple of months and to hear real voices instead of hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm is way cool.
Made two contacts :WB9PNU AND N3SZH!
