Hi!
I was planning on returning to Phoenix after the just-concluded AO7 pass, but will extend my stay out here. I will drive back to the DM32xx/DM42ax boundary for the VO52 pass at 0313-0326 UTC. This is a nice pass, up to max elevation of 40 degrees. Once this pass wraps up, it's back home to Phoenix. It will be dark, except for my lights and the traffic on a nearby highway and rail line.
I will try to start out around 145.910 MHz +/- on the VO52 downlink, but may have to move around due to QRM or QRN. I don't work many VO52 passes in the evenings, so this will be interesting.
73!
