Hi!

Pacificon is going very well for the AMSAT booth. Many thanks to Alan WA6DNR, his friend Louise, and TIm W6MU here at the convention. It rained a lot yesterday, but for now there's a break in the rain. I plan on working a couple of passes in the 1830-1900 UTC timeframe today, starting with SO-50 and then switching to FO-29 at the SO-50 LOS (or whenever I run out of stations to work on SO-50). Demonstrations will be done using W1AW/6, meaning ARRL will take care of the LOTW uploading and QSL chores. Thanks to the ARRL and Pacificon for allowing me to use the W1AW/6 call for the demonstrations.

For FO-29, I plan on using a single FT-817 and Elk antenna, transmitting around 145.930 MHz +/-. Whether on SO-50 or FO-29, please call if you hear W1AW/6 on these passes.

73!
