PJ4/NA2AA on WX-2F and FO-29
David, PJ4/NA2AA was heard and worked here yesterday (afternoon and evening) on XW-2F and FO-29. There was a minor pile-up during the FO-29 pass. Be sure to get on and work him. It's important to keep the satellite DX stations busy, so they enjoy their time on the air (and go back to do it again!). And you won't get that many chances to work PJ4 via satellite. And it's probably a new grid square if you're not looking for DXCC entities. Full info by Paul N8HM on the AMSAT 'Upcoming Satellite Operations' page.

Agree! I hope everyone who has a satellite station at their disposal tracks him down and works him even if they aren't really DX or grid chasers. We want guys to pack satellite gear and operate on trips like this and keeping them busy during passes helps that cause.

He was also on AO-85 not long after the FO-29 pass last night, but it was too far south for me to still get in on the uplink.
