Hi!
Thanks for the QSOs on the last AO27 pass. I did not hear the first 2 minutes of the repeater time, but was able to make 12 contacts in the remaining 5 minutes. Maximum elevation was only 9 degrees, which I saw as the repeater shut off.
I am parked on the municipal wharf in Santa Cruz CA (grid CM86xx), and there has been alternating sun and rain in the past hour. I hope to add more to the log on the upcoming AO27 pass around 2118 UTC. Then back up to San Jose.
My current location is showing up via APRS at http://aprs.fi/wd9ewk-9 if you'd like to see where I'm hanging out. Most people are walking around or they have their fishing poles out, but I'm doing a different type of 'fishing'.
73!
