CW and solder.

@NorthQrp Meh, it was ok. 10 was garbage, 15 was slightly better than garbage, and I have too much noise on 40 so even that wasn't great. 20 seemed ok during the single hour I participated.

@KG0D_Dave Hi Dave,
What radio are/were you using on 423 with your Yagis? 73!

[Michael @N6MST]

@WA4VOC_JIM Hey Jim, currently sitting in a parking lot at the University of Idaho, waiting for the ISS to join me. See you there?

@GridMasterHeat DN16 activation Sunday morning (Dec 22, 2024) ISS only, three passes, posted at https://t.co/pQfVfTkoZp

Will cancel for crap weather, fyi :)

[Michael @N6MST]

@hypergolic66 I use this stuff, totally concur!

[Michael @N6MST]

@hypergolic66 So why object to the term?

[Michael @N6MST]

@hypergolic66 Did the term actually originate with Elmer Fudd?

[Michael @N6MST]

@n1rcn Nothing received... to my QRZ address?

[Michael @N6MST]

@n1rcn Is the PO-101 account not accurate with the schedule? I thought it was pretty reliable...

[Michael @N6MST]

@n1rcn SatMatch - PO-101 overlaps DN18 and EL87 at 2024-07-06 23:19Z

Wanna give it a go? Pretty low angle on your end...

[Michael @N6MST]

@xe1myo Which one? I live in DN17 so that's really easy to set up and DN18 is only 20 minutes drive...

@VE5REV @digikey I had the same exact thing happen with an order of FT 240-43's (either Digikey or Mouser, can't remember) but they promptly replaced every item and packed the hell out of the replacement shipment. Looks like Digikey is taking care of you 👍

[Michael @N6MST]

@GridMasterHeat Omg, scratch that. I have all my parts, it got stuck INSIDE the boom. I'm an idiot and wasted too much time. First pass will be AO-91, my AOS is 1630Z. Please excuse my dumbness!

[Michael @N6MST]

@GridMasterHeat Well shit. Got to the park to discover I'm missing one of the 2M driven elements on my Arrow 2. It obviously didn't make it back into the back after its last use. Sorry all, no CN-96 from me today 😠

[Michael @N6MST]

@xe1myo @GridMasterHeat Hi Mayolo, those are some pretty low angles for me but I'll be on those passes and hopefully we can make it work work!
