The Snohomish County Hams Club in Washington State plans to operate WA7LAW on the satellites during Field Day. Primary operations will be on the linear satellites, FO-29, XW-2A, XW-2C, and XW-2F and maybe even LilacSat. We may try to get through the pile-up on SO-50 but may not be successful. Please look for us and make a contact. Tks de Ed, WA7ETH
Don't forget about AO-7, AO-73 and UKUBE (FunCube-2)! Sadly, the OSCAR satellite status page at amsat.org shows no transponder activity on LilacSat for quite some time...
Your best shot at the FM birds is during the night (don't forget AO-85).
George, KA3HSW (W9CCU for Field Day)

LilacSat-2 was apparently turned on this evening by the Harbin Institute of Technology command station, but it didn't last very long. It appears that the satellite suffers frequent resets and the FM transponder mode doesn't stay active for very long.
Hope to work quite a few during Field Day! Remember to submit your score to both the ARRL and AMSAT!

Paul, N8HM
