Myself, Dale/KL7XJ, Dan O'Barr/KL7DR and Craig/KL4E will be giving a Satellite presentation at the monthly meeting of the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club on Friday April 1st. Meeting will be in the in the Carr-Gottsein building at Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage, Alaska.
I will give a intro to satellite ppt, Dan and Craig will help. We will try a real demo but the only two sats will be SO67 and HO68. HO68 shows as being down even though it is scheduled to be on over the Americas for two weeks starting Mar 30. Our best try will be the SO67 pass.
HO68 AOS at 1956 Local/0356 UTC SO67 AOS at 2110 Local/0510 UTC
Hope to make some contacts... Thanks for listening.

I have corrections to make on my previous post. It looks like there will be two passes on SO67 only. HO68 will not be on and SO67 will be on during passes according their schedule and it is the satellite that will be on over the Americas. SO-67 AOS 1938 Local / 0338 UTC SO-67 AOS 2110 Local / 0510 UTC
Will have to see if we can both or only one. It all depends on the meeting schedule.
Thanks to Mark for info on the corrections.
