Very grateful for the incredible DX conditions lately on RS-44. Picked up Paul IK3ITB, Jerome F4DXV, Dieter DJ8DT, Steve G0FMZ and worked 9A1CAL with less than 1 degree left on the pass! Paolo Giardini / IK3ITB Jérôme F4DXV 🇫🇷 Zvonko / 9A1CAL club op.

Thought I'd take a chance and work a very shallow pass (.7 degrees max) on RS-44. Worked Phil G1AAK 59, no problem. 😃 Phil Webster....G1AAK / GB1AA Had Phil all to myself due to little coverage to NA.

Doing some shack cleaning and parting with some equipment. I'm offering a West Mountain Rigblaster Advantage model that is wired for Kenwood radios. Unit is brand new, never used. For my satellite radio friends $169 and FREE shipping. Offer is only good for today, March 7 2025.

Great conditions for a low RS-44 pass at 2 degrees this afternoon. Worked Phil G1AAK, Thor DJ7ZZ, and Damien F5RRS. Everyone was 59! Phil Webster....G1AAK / GB1AA @Dj7ZZ

WOW...Great start to the rover season. Worked AK8CW/R, KI7QEK/R, K5TA/R and KB5FHK/R all in one pass tonight on RS-44. AK8CW @k5ta Thomas Gaines

I knew I had a very shallow RS-44 pass to EU with about 1.2 degrees but put a CQ out anyways. Carsten OZ9AAR "shocked" me when he answered me on the first call! I then heard from Edward, SP2IPK! Carsten Grøn / OZ9AAR

Got to work Mark, VY0SAT on a high North America pass on SO-50. Made it a lot easier with less "competition" on this pass.

Anyone know why AO-7 is down lately?

WHEEE...AO-7 is still alive! Worked Tom VA6TA this morning and the bird was very loud and strong.

Very happy to work W3ZM/P at the Dayton Hamvention this morning on AO-7. Will be great to have "eyeball" QSO's with my satellite friends when I'm there this Saturday!

Outstanding morning in R44! Worked F6GLJ, DF2ET, F4IOZ, PD1B, F5RRS and PA3GAN all in one pass! Signals were excellent on both sides of the pond. @flo_0 Olivier F4IOZ Bert PD1B 🛰️ F5RRS Damien Pa3gan JO21 🎧🛰

Having a good time waiting for satellites to come by with my FT-8 Phaser kit rig running 4W into a delta-loop antenna. Ran a whole string of JA's!

QRP 4W on 17m...not too bad!

Will be looking for CW Aurora tonight...looking very promising for good contacts!

Just had my first QSO via HADES-ICM (SO-125) with EA2BJM the satellite sounded fantastic! #hamr #amsat AmSat-EA

A great pleasure to meet up with another Alaska satellite operator...Will AL9D on RS-44. Hope to have many more Q's with you! Will / AL9D

Just an FYI...LoTW is officially down until July 2 for systems upgrades.

Got an Email yesterday from ARRL that LoTW would be back up and running at 1400UTC July 2. Tried to use at 1420UTC...no luck. And they really want people to donate to this??? 😡

Had a great time working our satellite friend Del N2NWK doing POTA on 20m and then a few minutes later on SO-50. Nice to hear you on sats again Del! N2NWK

It's been over a year since the loss of GreenCube (IO-117). I surely do miss that fun satellite! My last QSO was on 8/24/24.
