Hi folks,
I am leaving this Thursday for my annual 7-week trip to Slovakia, grid locator JN88mf. My Slovak call has been changed to OM3BD. I will be active on the sats. North American stations, if you did not work me last year, please contact me for OSCAR 7 mode B skeds, if we will have any mutual footprints. Last year best DX was Ohio to the west and Virginia to the south. Too bad HO-68 is not working, looks like no chance for additional trans-Atlantic FM contacts this year.
Time permitting. there's also a possibility of some portable operations to different grids, and/or sat expeditions to Austria and Hungary (both less than 20 miles from my QTH).
73, Bill NZ5N/OM3BD
