Three new QSO's in three minutes today: WA4NVM (Anderson), KC9ELU (Mike), WB2OQQ (Pete). All three gentlemen (and several others I heard after I was done), were polite, did not transmit on top of each other, and exhibited outstanding comms discipline. Sure taught this newcomer to AMSAT some good examples of how to work the bird like a professional! Thanks, OM's!
Also, nice to see the old bird working FB!

"Also, nice to see the old bird working FB!" Heck, I thought he was talking about me....
Mark, Welcome to the Birds and nice to work you. I will look forward to working you again soon.
We all just hope A0-16 will stay with us for a while longer. About twelve of us just worked Patrick in DM22 (rare grid) on the last pass of A0-16. Look for him on the FM birds the rest of tonight.
73, Rick - WA4NVM #1339
