[amsat-bb] NPOTA HP44 Thomas Edison NHP SO-50

[Paul Stoetzer]

Chris,

I will be listening for you! It's certainly appropriate for you to
skip the grid on a busy pass and just give the park designator,
especially since it's not a rare grid. Hopefully no one will actually
think you are maritime mobile halfway between Greenland and Iceland ;)

73,

Paul, N8HM
