Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT Operating Areas (OA's)
I would like to add the Falkland Islands to the map. Perhaps this would come under the title of "isolated"?

Glad you got in!
Yes, the map above has the Faulklands and most of the ocean areas in Operating Area 0 (Isolated). Now all we need is someone monitoring 145.825 there and feeding it into an Igate.
I was very pleased to have been able to get a signal though RS0ISS-4 with ( a broken, damaged in transit ) THD7G and a mini magmount, from Rookery Mountain, West Falklands, the other week.
I only returned to the U.K. last night, so I still haven't checked to see if VP8CLE was gated or not.
73, Dave.
