All, I managed to operate the special event station BT3WX to work several E2, BY, VR2, XX9 throughout the evening pass of XW-1 using the FM transponder. It was the 1st test open of this bird's transponder. Everything works just great! Michael Chen, BD5RV/4 Email: michael.bd5rv at gmail.com MSN: bd5rv at jsdxc.org Skype: michael-bd5rv
