[amsat-bb] SX1DL looking for AO-7 DX

[Michael Klomfass, DH5MK]

Hello AO-7 friends,

 

We make a short activity on 4.+5.07.2009 from a high mountain close to
Athens. With that good take of, we try to make some DX via the old lady.

We will have some passes which covers the north-east of the USA and Canada,
as well we have some good opportunities for VU, ZS and 5R. A real difficult
area is Brasil. We have a extreme short window to Natal, HI24-square. Is
there anyone out, who is able to work AO-7?? PY´s, please look for someone
and give us a short info!!

 

In most of the directions we have the horizon at -1deg !! So stay tuned at
145.950MHz -+Doppler and QRM. 

 

For further infos ask me: sx1dl at dh5mk.de
