[amsat-bb] Re: Encounter With Comet Hartley 2010-11-04

[Luc Leblanc]

As we progress deeper and deeper in the universe we are always entilted to stumble over new encounters. As a suggestion in the new 
interstellar probes this video can make a nice visit card. I was for myself involved in a kind of encounter this morning around 0730 UTC on 
3780KHZ with a group of stations from UK and Spain that i worked in a row: EI6S, G3LNP, G4OFY, G3UCK, G5LND, GI0VIE, G4PEL, GW4RIB

Few hours prior to theses encounter i worked on AO-51 in L/S-U mode (S on my side ) KE3LB, N2JK, N2VYT, W7GPI, N8RO AA5CK, KC9ELU, KO4MA, 
K8YSE, WB8OTH

As written by Drew KO4MA "In January AO-51 leaves continuous illumination for many years and many of these modes 
may not be possible due to power budget and battery condition." Is this mean the above mentioned stations will be the last ones operating 
on L/S mode on AO-51? Can i refer to this encounter as the "Last L/S encounter in a kind"
