[amsat-bb] Re: HT + HO-68 = NE Georgia to SE Alaska!

[Tim - N3TL]

Thanks Rick! I don't have the industrial strength orbit stretcher here, so I won't be able to stretch HO-68 to Hawaii from here ... hihi.

It'll have to be Grand Old AO-7, and I remain hopeful that will happen sometime. 

Thanks again.

73,

Tim

Way to go Tim!  I heard the whole thing.  You will have to put the "orbit 
stretcher"
on HO-68 to work #50 on FM mode and QRP!  Great Job!

73 all,

Rick WA4NVM
