I'll be QRV on VO52 this evening at 22/0603Z. This will be a low pass for me at 8 degrees max, so it'll be mainly for testing my station's receiving capability. It's apparent that my problem with hearing my own downlink at low elevations on the linear sats will persist, at least until I can change out my antenna when we arrive in California next week. (I'll be putting an Elk on line in place of the Arrow that I've been using.)

I should be able to rearrange my lunch schedule to take advantage of the first window opportunity on AO27 tomorrow afternoon when it turns on at about 22/2333Z. Later at 23/0155Z, a small window will open up on AO51, followed by AO7 with a footprint extending to the central states at 23/0249Z and another one the next morning at 23/1645Z.

73,
