Hi Robert,

KL7AA has a new ground station which is "parking lot mobile". We deploy it occasionally and will mount it on the roof hopefully this summer.

Ops N6SPP, N6PG and myself AL4S are available to qso either on the ground station or by arrow or elk handhelds.

Looking forward to a KH6-KL7 sat-qso in the future. There is a link on my qrz.com webpage with a short movie on my first qso on the KL7AA ground station (Courtesy N6PG).

Cheers,

Rich Gillin - AL4S 907.884.1404 skype: rich.gillin

Unless someone has set up a strange repeater there is absolutely no doubt AO51 was alive and well as she came out of eclipse moments ago. I was able to hear myself perfectly on the downlink (145.880 up and 435.150 down). Unfortunately, the footprint from here only touched the west coast. Had an Alaska station been on, I am sure there would have been a QSO. The signal was strong the entire pass. (Could I be missing something?).
