[amsat-bb] SO-50

[Steve Kristoff]

I have kind of given up on the evening SO-50 passes while Yuri is sailing
the ocean blue. Nothing at all against Yuri or those working him for the
rare grid square. That's what all this stuff is for.
Just that I'm not going to QSO with anybody during those passes given my
mini-station and (mostly) my inexperience.
I'll be on during the day on weekends and listening at other times for a
break in the action.
