Contacts from N1T special event this weekend
This Friday and Saturday (5/4 and 5/5 EDT) I'll be taking part in the New England Tech Trek at NEAR-Fest. It’s a youth outreach STEM activity. This takes place at the Deerfield Fairgrounds in New Hampshire, USA. I believe the grid is FN43; we will be using special event call sign N1T.
I'll try to post a set of passes that we will be working with a GOTA (Get On The Air) satellite station. Remember there will be a bunch of inexperienced kids (and me!) so I hope you will all be nice to us :-), but also please respond and ragchew when appropriate. I'll do my best to record contacts and acknowledge QSLs, but this is my first time at this sort of event, so we'll see what happens.
More later.
73, and thanks for your help!

I posted a list of passes on the AMSAT Facebook pate for Friday that are visible from FN43. I expect to be working most, if not all passes on Friday between about 1030 EDT (1430Z) to about 1600EDT (2000Z). Saturday, the times are different and I'll post those when I figure it out :-)

Sounded great on the 2039 UTC CAS-4B pass on May 4! Thanks for the contact.
Hope you all have a great weekend & hope to hear you on other satellites.
