Hello Mark and all the people of the list,
I will be nice to hear you on the sats! Madrid is on zone 4 so your call be more accurate EA4/N8MH and if you're in Madrid your locator will be around IN80.
Hope to work you on every sat!
Regards from Salamanca, Spain!
73 de EA1JM, Fran

Hello European satellite friends,
It is possible that I will be QRV from Madrid, Spain on FO-29, VO-52, AO-73, SO-50, and AO-7 (?) while the family is on holiday. This is a very low priority part of the trip, and I can't predict when I'll be able to get on the air (limitations of being in the city with poor view to sky, etc.). But I am going to try at least a few passes one way or another!
The opportunity is from around Dec 24 until Jan 2. My station will be very simple--FT-817, Elk antenna, and a hand mic. Working half-duplex on the SSB birds will be very challenging for me! I am spoiled by fully automated station operations.
So if you hear EA/N8MH, please be patient and say hello :) It may be the only chance for a QSO with long time friends across the big pond...
Should I be able to post an email note in advance of a specific pass/satellite, I will do so. But it might not be possible.
73!
