I have focused my attention to FO-29 where I can work the satellite when it is 2 degrees above my horizon. On a good day I am able to make about three contacts on one pass. I am trying to work the satellite on all available passes to me. For anyone interested in making contact, I am available. Be patient and keep trying as conditions are always changing.

Bob, I'd like to publicly thank you for our FO-29 contact on 6/8/2016!
My station was a FT-817nd and an Arrow antenna, half duplex. It was touch and go for some minutes due to the mountains to my west, but I was finally able to line up with you and make the QSO.
Now on to chase CT, ME, NH and NY!
Best wishes and good DX!!
