[amsat-bb] WA4HFN EM85/EM86 AO51 today

[John Papay]

(Info from WA4NVN)

Damon, WA4HFN, will be on the Grid Line EM85/EM86
on the afternoon AO-51 passes today, October 19th.

Damon has had a difficult time gettng through on the
birds during his trip because of the congestion on
the channels.  Those that make the effort to operate from
grids away from home are making a sacrifice so that we
can pick up needed grids.  Please give them some airtime
to work as many stations as possible.

When you travel, consider taking your satellite equipment along
and operating as much as you can.  You will get an appreciation
of what is involved and you will also be giving out grids to
those working on their VUCC and other awards.  Being on the other
end can be both exciting and rewarding.
