I worked 4C1JPG on the 02:30z pass of SO-50 last night. They were very strong into the satellite (full quieting).
I don't think they were hearing very well, which might be the language barrier, but is more likely SO-50's wandering transmitter frequency or an antenna/pre-amp/radio issue.

I worked them on PSK31 this weekend. Looks like they've been very active in the evenings.
Has anyone worked them on the birds?

Hi!
I saw this on another mailing list, and haven't seen any mention of it anywhere else, so here goes.... Members of the "Radio Experimentadores de Occidente" radio club XE1TD will use the special Mexican call 4C1JPG during the 2011 Pan-American Games, currently taking place in Guadalajara. 4C1JPG ("Juegos Panamericanos Guadalajara", the Spanish translation of the event in that Mexican city) will be on 160m through 6m, as well as the satelltes through 30 October 2011.
QSL cards will be available, as well as electronic confirmations in both LOTW and eQSL. More information about 4C1JPG, including the Mexican address of the 4C1JPG QSL manager, is available at:
By the way, for those who work that station - or any Mexican station - and would like to send SASEs instead of including a US dollar bill or IRC with your QSL request, I have lots of Mexican postage stamps. Using SASEs works a lot better when trying to send something to a Mexican ham. Please e-mail me directly if you would like to get some stamps for QSLing.
Good luck and 73!
