I was hoping there might be a chance to hear you guys on the 1520
UTC pass, but I knew that would almost certainly be too early (0620
Alaska time).

Unfortunately you were the only one from Alaska I heard.  I was
hearing voices for a minute or so before I called you, but the
satellite was still around 1-2 degrees elevation.  When I called you
and you responded, I had about 3 minutes or so of audio that all
could hear clearly despite the static on the low pass.

Thanks again for coming up on that pass.  I need to return the favor
more often, if you or your Alaskan friends do presentations or
demonstrations where the satellite footprint covers down to Arizona.

73!
