Doug, KD8CAO, is now active from EN86, Drummond Island, MI. He worked 17 stations on the last AO51 pass at 2240Z, 7 July 09. He will be active soon on the ssb birds. EN86 is a very rare grid; XE2AT, who is at the top of the VUCC leader board with 900 grids confirmed, still needs it! Doug should be active on Wednesday from EN86 and will be heading back through EN76 Thursday. He only made a few contacts today on his way through EN76. He reports that he has no internet connection on the island but his cellphone is working. He has been using his TH-D7AG and the Arrow on the FM birds but plans to set up the TS2000 with doppler control now that he is on the island. Hope you can make a contact.
