Hi!

Starting tomorrow (Wednesday 0000 UTC, or 8pm Eastern time Tuesday evening), W1AW/7 will be on the air from Arizona. If you want to work this call on the HF bands and in different modes on those bands, there is a nice schedule posted at:

http://www.n7cw.com/Schedule.html

Satellite activity is not listed on that page, as I am managing the satellite activity on behalf of the coordinators of the Arizona W1AW/7 activity (Ned AA7A and Bud N7CW). John K8YSE, operating his K8YSE/7 station from DM43 in the Phoenix area, and I will be on the satellites as W1AW/7 during the upcoming week. Please give us a call, and get in the log. As with the other W1AW/x activity, ARRL will be handling the QSLing as listed on their web site, and QSOs will also be uploaded to LOTW.

Among other times, I will use W1AW/7 for demonstrations at the Scottsdale Amateur Radio Club's Springfest hamfest on Saturday (15 March) morning instead of my own call. I will try to get on the birds in the weeknights, and at other times on the weekend in addition to the hamfest. K8YSE will be on other passes as W1AW/7 using his Arizona station, based on his availability. If there are other satellite operators who can operate from Arizona and want to help with this state's W1AW/7 effort on the satellites, please contact me directly.

Thanks, and 73!
