Ft Myers hamfest

Due to a conflict with the VHF/UHF contest, I'm not going to be able to set up a booth at the Ft. Myers Hamfest on January 17th. Are there any ACs here in Florida that would like to do a one day hamfest booth there for AMSAT? 73, Drew KO4MA

FT-100 for sale
by Andrew Glasbrenner 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi all, I have a FT-100 transceiver for sale. HF and 6m works fine; I worked 101 grids during the summer QSO party on 6m. 2m and 70cm receive is out, the first stage amplifier is out for the second time due to overload from a nearby transmitter. 2m and 70cm transmit works fine, and HF and 6m is perfect. I'm asking $350 dollars for a local FTF transaction in the Bay area. I'll consider trades as well, especially for a receiver like a VR-5000 with an IF output. 73, Drew KO4MA

Just heard WA4SCA calling CQ on what I assume is still L/V. Not much else heard, one other station heard prior to that. Scott/WB2UZR --

ISS V/U Pass

Just heard a nice pass of the ISS in V/U repeater mode, nice and strong on the HT. Astronaut Mike was working the pile nicely! Could hear the stations he was in QSO with on the downlink quite well. He said L band later today. Scott/WB2UZR --
