I'll be in uncommon grid CM86 on Saturday (with a slight possibility of a pass on Sunday). CM86 consists of the western half of Santa Cruz, CA and ALOT of ocean.

NOTE, given that the preferred AO-27 pass will be occuring during the Rochester Hamfest, please allow for that and please call me WITH YOUR STATE/PROVINCE as well as your grid square. Thus those at the hamfest unfamiliar with satellite or VHF/UHF operation can know how far our satellites reach.

That pass (in UTC) is:

AO-27 Sat 02Jun07 22:04:28 22:11:07 22:17:50 00:13:22 130 67 3 21.8

and barely reaches into Vermont. Given this and the hamfest, please minimize routine hellos to other 'regulars'.

I will also try to make this pass:

AO-27 Sat 02Jun07 23:43:04 23:50:23 23:57:51 00:14:47 184 261 340 41.8

and note that which SO-50 is overhead at the about same time, it will not be high enough in the sky to be reliable for me.

The remaining passes might be possible, given suitable breaks in our evening program, but no promises:

SO-50 Sun 03Jun07 01:21:23 01:28:06 01:35:01 00:13:38 214 301 29 73.3 AO-51 Sun 03Jun07 02:58:16 03:05:28 03:12:40 00:14:24 139 69 359 30.6

Sunday seems sufficiently unlikely that i'm not listing passes here, but it would likely be on one of the first two AO-27 passes if it happens at all.

Like Santa Catalina Island, i will send everyone QSL cards, and do not expect cards or SASE. All i ask is that you also to work me near home (CM88 or maybe CM87) if i don't already have your grid square. 73's and good luck! -- KD6PAG (Networking Old-Timer, Satellite QRPer)
