Hi!
I just got back in the house from working AO-51, and had a most pleasant surprise on that pass. The XF4DL DXpedition to Socorro Island (Revillagigedo) was on the satellite. At times, the pileup was just like on HF, but sometimes nothing was coming through the satellite with all the signals trying to make it through. In addition to a few XE stations, I heard KB5BOB and W6GMT also make contacts with the station after I made mine. Thankfully, my Sony digital recorder picked it all up, and I will hold onto this recording until that QSL card arrives from the DXpedition QSL manager.

73!
