The 00:03 pass of ISS/Shuttle over FM07 was just grand. My wife and myself had a great view from our back deck. You fellows were very active as usual. I listened on the D7 kenwood and the rubber duck antenna. It was almost solid copy continuous. What a show! 73's << John
I think my S-band converter died this morning. I cant hear the satellite, on 3 different passes. Looks like I have some work to do. I doubt I'll be on S band for the duration of this month's session.

Want to buy one cheap? I have an old DRAKE 2880 that I bought for AO-40. I've never had it powered up. It may have some mods done to it. I may even have some of the parts to do some of the mods with.
Interested?
I'll ship it to New Castle for $20 bucks!

As I'm starting to get back in the swing of things I noticed that the Timonium hamfest is next week. Is anyone going to do the AMSAT booth there? If so I will make myself available for both days that weekend to split the booth coverage. If I don't hear from anyone I will call Martha myself Monday morning and arrange to set the booth up myself. Of course at that point I will also be looking for volunteers to help out. Hope to see you at Timonium....
