[amsat-bb] Re: OM3BD QRV AO-7 next pass 0925Z July 14

[Bill Dzurilla]

Only worked KB1RVT on this pass, recording of the pass at:
www.qsl.net/nz5n/HRD 2011-07-14 052505.mp3

There was some construction nearby and you can hear distortion every time the jackhammer was going.

I'll try again Saturday.

73, Bill
