[amsat-bb] K6PV/p Santa Catalina Is. DM03

[Clayton Coleman]

Jim,

Amazingly DM03 is not heard on passes of FM satellites (SO-50) that touch
the east coast.  The same could be said for east coast grids never heard
out west.

Recently WD9EWK was out in southern California and made a point to work
some low passes that reached the east coast. It proved popular.

I commend the K6PV op for working a pass low enough to provide coverage to
the entire continental USA on SO-50.
