Thanks for that Dave Unfortunately due to illness(heavy cold/sore throat etc) over the last week operation was limited to a few dozen contacts on AO27 and SO50 plus some JA's on AO51 via Echolink.However all contacts were enthusiastic to work GB0OO and therefore I intend to make it a regular event on the 12/13th Dec.Perhaps next year Dave you could obtain a special US call sign from your licensing authorities ,if that at all possible.
One contact meets the challenge!!!
I fully intend to investigate a US callsign for next year, and perpetuity if perpetuity is possible....
And I hope all other AMSATS duplicate the effort.
If anyone reading this could assist me in the procedure to get a special callsign, I would appreciate the help.
My intentions are to contact the FCC early enough to get through the red tape probably needed....
Some of our California politicians are pretty powerfull!!
