I just contacted Eric, who gave me fp/kv1j - gn17. What does the fp stroke
mean? Do I enter this into AC Logger as kv1j without the fp/?
Something new on AO-51, I'm learning!

My tape recorder stopped on the last pass, I have a callsign on the log I
thought was WA8JDR in EN44, but qrz.com says no good. Anyone know who it
was?
Thanks,
Mike

No! LOL!
FP/ means he was operating from a French territory off the coast of
Canada called St. Pierre and Miquelon
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon) . It's a
separate DXCC country, and French soil, so (I imagine) he's operating
under the CEPT agreement we have with most of Europe, hence the appended
callsign.
Congratulations, that is a fine DX catch.

I think there were some post on the past about this topic. Today 10/28/2010
on the AO-27 pass around 2049z we heard some signal of two people getting
into the satellite, I was able to recognize the accent and they were from
Central or South America as I can hear they were talking about the results
from a medical testing that makes me think about a hospital or a medical
laboratory. the satellite reach it's high altitude from me at 45 degrees
they no longer interfere, thats when the Central America region went out
from the foot print,
Last year in Mexicali Mexico we spot a company that uses ISS down link freq
145.800 Mhz to communicate on simplex, as soon as we get their phone number
by monitoring for a few days we give them a courtesy call and
they politely agree to change their operating freq.
I did not record the audio from this pass but would like to get it to see if
we can get more details.

Tonight about 2320 28/10/10 UTC I finally made contact with NA1SS, Col
Wheelock. A BEAUTIFUL flyby I watched, turned on HT in the truck, heard
voice. Few attempts later I made contact. We talked briefly about the views.
I can only imagine his view of the eastern US during our night while I
watched them fly over head.
Safe journey crew! Thanks for QSO

Hi all,
I sent a note a few weeks ago about a trip to Kauai and the potential
for satellite contacts. It was pretty comical, the only chance I had to
actually hit a pass was one where a satellite went directly overhead. I
ran out, got full quieting, was all kinds of excited, and .. well.. I
was the only guy in the footprint :-)
I'm heading to Seychelles tomorrow (LI75RJ, out in the indian ocean) for
an 8 day trip and bringing my HT and Arrow2. Am I being overly hopeful
that I'll have anyone to talk to if I can catch few passes? I'm a new
ham and new to satellite contacts so just not sure if it's worth the
trouble to try. ??
thanks
Matt
