WhiIle I did have a dozen left over from 2003 on AO-40 (SK). a few new grids
can be attributed to "modern" rovers, including ND9M, WD9EWK, and W5PFG.
However, most of these new grids are credited to Yuri, UT1FG. Yuri was/is a
great op, often on multiple overnight FO-29 passes (ZZZZZZZ) when in range.
I worked him sporatically during daylight hours due to work, but was ever so
grateful to give up a little sleep for such rare wet grids as he so
generoursly provided. Also worthy of a Best Supporting Actor Award is
Eugene, UT0FY, who is Yuri's QSL manager.
If there was ever a reason to improve your satellite station, it is to get
ready for his next trip once his summer vacation is over in Ukraine :-)

Thanks! Glad I could help you toward those 1008 grids. Hope
you can keep adding to that count.

Hey,
I just got my manual for the Spirit-2 packet controller that I was sold for
$15.00.
As far as I can tell it says nothing about modes of operation.
When I called and asked they could tell me what kind of stuff it can do but
they did not mention GMSK which is what I am interested in doing.
I need help here guys, I at least want to monitor the GMSK stuff and perhaps
pacsat when it comes to life again, perhaps.
Looks to me like I am going to look for a used radio that interfaces with
tracking programs.
As far as the cost for this venture, $190.00 + $15.00 was not bad to come up
to nothing.
73,
Alan

Looking for someone with the right stuff
- an LVB Tracker controlling their rotors
- a Computer running Windows 7
- slightly above average computer skills
who is willing to take a few minutes to test a piece of software for me.

I will be doing a little grid expedition in late June through numerous
grids. These are not all rare but anyone who has worked me previously
knows I will QSL via paper and Logbook of the World. Email me directly
if there are specific grids in this list you need/want and I will try my
best to set a schedule with you. I plan to operate AO-27, SO-50, and
FO-29. It is not guaranteed I will operate from all of these grids but
they have significant coverage of the roads I'll be running.
