comms? Impressions?
Thinking of purchasing an r-20 and am looking for some feedback.
Thanks,

It has been my companion at air shows and I even use it for radar
Go for it

Yes, wikipedia does: 1963
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfin_Bird
Later, in '80's this was popularized by the soundtrack of
Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, from where i remember it
but never thought how suitable this would be as a theme
song for sat ops.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the AO-27 is
creeping further and farther down into the US before it goes into eclipse. A
lot of times at great elevation, with Alaska, Canada and some of the US well
inside the footprint.
Of course everyone is asleep at this time, but I was wondering if this will
keep getting better and maybe some of the earlybirds would like to try
workin it like we do the 51 so early in the morning as we so often do?
Thank's for any input,

Hi Kevin,
AO27 is usually (if ever) on for morning passes. Did you mean AO51?

I remember that song from the early sixty's. There was a show on that had a
mad scientist clown type guy called Glue Arty. That was kind of his theme
song when he appeared on the show. He was pulled off the air for trying to
blow up an animal, "a rat I think" with a fire cracker. There maybe someone
on here that remembers more than I do. I was about ten years old at the
time.

I was following the space junk that was heading very close to the space
station. The news said the junk was part of a Chinese communications
satellite. Being a newbie here I was wonder if it was an old bird which was
used for ham communications at one time?

My ship was originally scheduled to sail from Jacksonville today, and do
donuts in the ocean for a few days before heading up to Charleston on
Sunday. All that has been chucked out the window; now we're to leave
tomorrow (07 April) in the late afternoon and head straight for
Charleston, so there won't be any new wet grid squares along the way.
We'll get to Charleston early Friday morning, and I'll sign off the ship
on Sunday. The shipyard we're going to is in grid FM02. That grid isn't
super rare, but it's not all that common on the birds either. I should
be able to get on from FM02 at various times on Friday and/or Saturday
before I jump the rail. Unfortunately, there will still be a lot going
on aboard the ship, so I can't in good conscience predict what pass(es)
I'll be on.
My XYL Cori has fully recovered from her shoulder surgery and will pick
me up when I leave the ship on Sunday. We'll drive to south Florida
where I will get a physical check up I need for renewing my merchant
marine documents that will be expiring this summer. Our driving route
will be FM02 - FM03 - EM93 - EM92 - EM91 - EM90 - EL99 - EL98 - EL97 -
EL96 - EL95. If you need any of those, send me an e-mail and I'll see if
we can work something out.
Pse note that my shipboard e-mail address will remain valid while I'm
off the ship, but I will not have access to it until I return to the
ship in several months. After Saturday (09 April), pse use my "regular"
e-mail address, claryco @ aol.com.
Now it's back to working on the logs...
73 for now,
Jim, ND9M / VQ9JC
