Thanks to all for your patience. I had a heck of a time hearing the bird.there are some serious downlink issues at the station that need to be address. Having said that, there were a number of successful contacts. If you'd like a QSL for the contact, send me the specifics direct (e-mail below) and I'll make sure you get confirmation.

Apologies to the west coast folks, timing didn't work out. I will try to get back to the station within the next two weeks for a pass that favors the west coast. I'll keep you posted.
