I hope to work them! If anyone hears them, or more information becomes 
available, please post it here!

As a reminder, AMSAT has two Arrow antennas, and a TH-D7 available for 
loan to any member going on a DXpedition, or grid trip. This is the same 
gear used to activate K5D last year about this time. The D7 is 
programmed with Alpha-Memory tags for the FM satellites and has both 
rechargeable and AA battery packs, and is very simple to use. Contact me 
if you have a need to use it.
