Good evening,
By now I hope every AMSAT-NA member has had a chance to read the first version of my Orbital Debrief column in the January/February AMSAT Journal. I would appreciate any feedback on this first edition! If you are not an AMSAT-NA member, you are missing out. Please join AMSAT-NA today.
As designed, the column relies on input from satellite operators. If you go on a grid expedition, work a new DX station, have a good story about satellite operating, or receive a unique QSL card, please submit any notes and photos for publication to n8hm@arrl.net.
Also, I would like to get some data from as many operators as well. I would like to put together a picture of what is possible on the LEO satellites. I have not decided exactly how I will present this data, but I would like to receive a list of the following data (from LEO satellites only) from as many operators as possible:
1. Grids worked / grids confirmed 2. Grid fields worked / grid fields confirmed 3. U. S. states worked / U. S. states confirmed 4. Canadian call areas worked / Canadian call areas confirmed 5. DXCCs worked / DXCCs confirmed 6. CQ zones worked / CQ zones confirmed 7. Continents worked / continents confirmed
The "Upcoming Satellite Operations" page on the AMSAT website (http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=3921) is designed as a real-time companion to the column, and as mentioned in a previous post, I encourage all satellite operators to bookmark it and check it regularly. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and submissions and I hope you enjoy the column!

Thanks Paul,
Excellent work and much appreciated!

Hi friend Sean, Paul and all
I also want to say as a member of pleasure reading your comments. Today I read the AO7 information. And today was our contact with low signals. In the noise.
I like to take and inform you that the 18th of April. world Day amateur radio I will be with a group of scouts. And this opportunity will call mainly in FO29. I hope that young people can talk to one of you the east coast.
On the 11th, I want to show the Scouts to SSTV reception.
For your attention always, thank you
