I'll also be operating for this event on sats. I'll be using callsign K2J representing North Carolina. I hope to work at least a pass or two and I'll send an email to the list when I know what pass[es] I'll be on.

I will be operating K2A this week as a representative of NY for the event and hope to work some of the satellites during the week from FN03. I'm still a newbie but I have a pair of eggbeaters up and can work the linear or FM sats when everything cooperates. I will post on the AMSAT-NA Facebook group and will use twitter @AMSAT when I know I'll be on.

I just finished listening to a SO-50 which I was going to try to work as K2A if I could get in. I've only worked FM birds a couple of times before and I remember it being busy but that was just stupid. I'll either try off hours or stick to linear sats. Not to start something but man I hope we can get some higher orbit linear satellites again :-(

Hi Dave, if we can get the 13 Colonies event back to where it was when we had a solid 13 colony precipitation on the sats it will become a 'rare grid level event' on the FM birds. I remember working 24 stations on a single AO-27 pass from Delaware in 2012 and nobody complained! Hang in there, better 13 colony things are coming...
