Well, GoToMeeting "got" me for a month's subscription (grin). So if you are
interested in attending this live, online one-hour session that shows you ...
- how to manually program your Yaesu FT-60R
- battery charging tips
- antenna replacement recommendations
- and tries to answer any other questions YOU have
... then send me a couple of dates/times that you have open in the next couple
of weeks. Let's get as many session in before I need to pay for another
month's
subscription!
Let's not clog up this messagegroup with replies - please privalely email
me, or
leave a voicemail message at the number below. When we get closer, we call
tell
this group the definitive dates/times. Max of 15 attendees per session (that
is a
GoToMeeting restriction).

Hi Clint!
Thanks for the shout. I am parked next to a monument
marking the 50th parallel along the waterfront in
Campbell River, British Columbia, now. GPS says the
line is south of the monument, oh well. Only 16C/61F
here, much better than back in Phoenix at the
moment. And a full week to go up here.
I did not hear the first 30 to 45 seconds of the 7-
minute repeater time, being so far north. Still fun
to get through. Thanks to portable gear and no problems
at Phoenix airport security and Canada Customs, I have my
normal (portable) station with me. :-)
73 and happy July 4 to those south of me in the States!

I had forgotten that it wasn't set to turn ON until past half-way of its
pass for me in DM13-Riverside CA. I left the freq, and looked for a friend
on a terrestrial station (g), then came back to a VERY LOUD AND CLEAR SIGNAL
from AO-EWK, er, AO-27 ...

Thanks, Wayne, for your message!
I attended a local "celebratory" event for the date - but we have to get
back home to tend to our horse and burro ... we have folks who shoot off
illegal fireworks nearby - much to the dismay and consternation of our "big
guys' ears."
(What - Clint's has a "burro?" - I hear you think ... Yes - and you should
ask me what my burro's name is ... )
Edward R. Burro.
I use this fact in my AMSAT presentations. "For those of you who have read
my online bio, yes, I do own a burro ... "
Those in the audience who are UNDER 50 years of age think I am saying,
"Edward, our burro."
But those of us who are over 50 or 60 - and/or know a little about
journalism, KNOW the reference.
And so it goes ....

Hi!
I had planned on going to CO60/CO70 today, but could not find
a good spot to work satellites out there. Lots of trees, hills,
and being stuck at the bottom of valleys looking at obstructions
up to almost 30 degrees of elevation to the east and southeast
would have been no fun. I came back to Campbell River, where I
spent last night after crossing the ferry from Vancouver, and
went to the (very) nearby CN79/CO70 boundary. There is a
monument near that spot, erected by the local Rotary group, to
mark the 50th parallel. My GPS claimed the monument was just a
little north of the actual line, and I spent the day working from
that area. Being in Campbell River, I could simply take a short
drive to get lunch and not have to pack food with me if I spent
the day out in the forest not wanting to come back to town.
I worked at least 13 passes, and logged at least 1 QSO on 11 of
them. I worked SSB and FM, shallow passes and very high passes,
and was able to put these grids in the logs of stations all over
North America. Alvaro XE2AT was *very* happy with getting CO70
in his log this afternoon, and I'm sure there were others happy
with either of both of these grids in their logs. I logged a
total of 77 QSOs from CN79jx/CO70ja today. Adding in the 24 QSOs
I logged last night from Vancouver, this is a great start for the
radio part of my trip. And I'm doing sightseeing, and taking
pictures as I go.
Now for what will probably be the most ambitious driving I will
do on this trip. I will go northwest from Campbell River into
grid CO60 to some point where I get a good view of the sky for
satellite work. If there are good roads beyond the town of
Port Hardy at the far end of BC route 19, I may even be able
to get out to the CO50/CO60 grid boundary. Port Hardy is at
least 3 hours away from here, and it could be another hour or
more from Port Hardy to the boundary line if there are roads
good enough to drive out there. If I go out there, I have to
come back from there, so you can imagine the distance I will
cover (or visit a site like Google Maps to check it out for
yourself). Depending on the surroundings at the times for the
passes, I may stop and work some passes on my way to and from
Port Hardy or the CO50/CO60 boundary, for more chances to get
at least CO60 in logs.
>From what I saw this morning, once I left Campbell River for at
least the first 70km/43 miles or so away from this town, the
GSM cell coverage went away. It does not pick up again until I
am most of the way to Port Hardy. If, for some reason, I do not
get to Port Hardy, the only way to know where I ended up would
be to work passes in the daytime and early evening tomorrow. If
I can get a signal on the cell, I should be able to scribble a
quick e-mail here announcing my location. I will have my gear
with me for both SSB and FM birds, and with AO-7 hopefully
switching back to mode B late tomorrow afternoon I may even get
on there before returning to Campbell River in the (late) evening.
As for QSL cards, some have already said they were going to send
me a card immediately. You may want to wait until after the coming
week, so you can send requests for all QSOs that you may make with
VA7EWK in a single envelope. For this trip, I would like to get
QSL cards. SASEs are not required when working me via satellite,
and I am happy to respond to QSL cards I receive with or without an
SASE. I will most likely send out cards with SASEs, as I would like
to see if I can reach VUCC after this week coupled with the trip I
made to Vancouver in late 2008. It could be close.
Thanks to all for the QSOs today. It was fun to work the passes
and be in 16C/61F comfort for the entire day in Campbell River.
Hope to hear you tomorrow from wherever I end up...
73!

Hi,
I am in Slovakia, grid JN88mf, for 3 more weeks and would like to make a few
more trans-Atlantic sat QSOs before I leave. The windows are very short but
it is doable.
I have already worked Nick KB1RVT and Scott N1AIA via FM on HO-68. I have
twice heard Joe K3SZH on AO-7 SSB with a good sig but have yet to complete a
QSO with him.
Please email me if we have a mutual footprint and you would like to make a
sked. On AO-7, I usually call "CQ Stateside" around .160 when the bird is
over W/VE. If you hear me, try to complete the QSO quickly, as my sig will
go from strong to zero in a matter of seconds.

Patrick, WD9EWK/VA7EWK is on the road to Port Hardy BC this
morning. He will likely be on the SO-50 passes at approximately
1533z, 1714z and 1857z as well as the one after that to the west.
Operation will likely be from CO60 along the way, ending up in
CO50 later this afternoon for the AO-27 passes.
Patrick reports that there are a lot of trees so it is difficult
to find places where he can see the horizon. He mentions all
equipment is working well and he will be on the linear transponders
as well as the fm ones. There is an FM HO-68 pass around 1745z today
(5 July) that he will likely be on.

Patrick has finally made it to Port Hardy BC on some
very bad roads. He reports that his car looks like it
was in the Baha road race.
He tried SO-50 from CO50 at 1524z but heard no stations.
He is now in CO60 and will be on the SO-50 pass at 1847-1900z.
He should be on other passes including AO-27, AO-51 FO29 etc.
today.
Plans are indefinite for tomorrow.

Hi All,
I have received the UK copy of Oscar news and there is an article stating
that GO-32 is now non-operational and has completed its 11 year mission
successful. However, due to the degraded state of the solar panels it cannot
keep the software in a stable condition.
The ground operating station has asked that we mark this satellite as no
longer able to support any continued operation.
It's a shame to hear as this was a great strong satellite for operating APRS
on.
All the best,
Chris, M0DQO
