@WB7VUF Yes. Tell your friend F-Sun are best.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@W8LR_ham I need EN81 N6CKC 😊

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

Thanks to @BorgersonS Sean, KK7OVF, for the mail call today!

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@BorgersonS That was a workout, but we made it.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

Alert ⚠️ Bird Chaser Bingo card participants. I will be on the 18:30 UTC SO-50 pass from the Yucca Library parking lot.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

That was a bust. The usual suspect checking in with every single station on the pass. This was a reminder of why I walked away from FM transponders.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

Mission accomplished! Thanks @BorgersonS Sean.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

Thanks to @BorgersonS Sean, KK7OVF, for filling in the last Bird Chaser Bingo box for me this morning on a very quiet FO-29 western pass!
And thank you to all stations that, in the majority, didn't even know they contributed to the fun.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@kd8rtt What a clown car that SO-50 pass was. Thank you for hanging in there, Tony. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's EM08 activation.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@kd8rtt JO-97 doppler is all over the place, and on top of that, the transponder has some very strong noise. Thanks for the two new ones, Tony!

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@N5BO_Justin Can we expect some satellite roving to be involved in this trip?

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@Gregbadilla Is this your first Field Day activation?
You are set for a surprising awakening.
I will be operating as K7K from DM44

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

I will be in DM44 from Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning. I will try to be as active as I can while there.
DM me if you want me on a specific pass.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@WD5GRW Thanks for the two new ones, Jim!

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@BrianCochr99352 @arrl @AMSAT @ARISS_Intl This could be of some help as a reference about what is active and when. https://t.co/mOJN2H2SCh

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@W6KSR Thanks, Ed, for the much needed CM-94

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@R4UAB Nothing was heard at 17:30 UTC. Telemetry only.

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@Gregbadilla Isn't the G-5400B similar or probably the same as the G-5500?

[Nestor N6CKC @n6ckc]

@Gregbadilla That worked for a while until I placed the antennas on the mast at about 20' elevation.
