Activating NPOTA Blue Ridge Pkwy PK01 on July 16th 1546 UTC SO-50 pass
I’ll be activating National Parks on The Air Blue Ridge Parkway PK01 from the Craggy Dome overlook on the July 16th 1546 UTC SO-50 pass
The pass is 86 degrees elevation for me and I will be filming to hopefully make a video for my YouTube channel. I hope to make at least 10 contacts so I can get credit as an activator.
I have never activated for NPOTA before nor have I been at the receiving end of a pileup on a satellite. Not sure that I will be, but I kinda want to be, and if so I will appreciate your patience.

Check into the Annual Golden Packet Event from 1100 to 1400 on 445.925 (voice PL 100) for the 15 Mountain Tops along the Appalachians, trying to relay the Golden APRS packet from Maine to Georgia. If you have APRS, monitor 144.34 to see the packets. Do not transmit though until the Golden Packet message has been successful.

Ah that's this weekend. I have a D72 so I will definitely tune in to the packet and check into the net. Will not TX until I've been told it's ok.

If I caused QRM to others today during this pass, mea culpa. I do not know the source of the local strong tone that oscillates in/out. 73 George WA5KBH PS I hope I am not labeled a 'lid'!

Hey George,
I heard ya on there. As far as I'm concerned no worries, kind of hard to troubleshoot issues relating to satellites without using the satellites! FWIW your signal was loud and clear, no QRN on the transmit so it must be on your receive or in the shack.
Hope you get it sorted,
73,
