Make sure to tell them that 100 other people will all be on the same freq also and try not to double with someone, LOL. gud luck FM birds are very over crowded. SSB birds would be alot better I hope you told them what to expect WA4HFN Damon ----- Original Message ----- From: saguaroastro@cox.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 12:31:39 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] New Sat operators
All,
A few weeks back, my radio club, The Thunderbird Amateur Radio Club (www.w7tbc.org) held an antenna building session where several members built satellite antennas from Kent Britain, WA5VJB, plans. Tomorrow is our Spring picnic and I'm planning on getting a few of the folks who built this antenna on the birds. Hopefully I'll have a few new voices on the following passes:
AO-27 1957UT AO-27 2136UT AO-51 2258UT
So if you hear a new call from DM33, help them get their first satellite QSO.
Not sure how many will be there, but here are a few calls you may hear:
AE7GM WA6AYS KF7MLX KE7VOU
You can see some pictures from the build session on the club web site (see the link above)
Thanks in advance
