[amsat-bb] FN05/06/07 on Sunday Sept 18th

[Ken Alexander]

Hi All,

As I Tweeted earlier, I am moving my departure day up to this Sunday so 
that I can spend a little more time in FN-05/06/07.  I'm also hoping 
that this will allow me to spend more time in EO80 and EO90, hopefully 2 
days in each grid.

I have to leave on Sunday morning so as to be in Barrie, ON at 9:00 for 
the opening of a store where I plan to buy an inverter so I can 
re-charge the various batteries without having to run back into town all 
the time.

I will stop in FN05/06/07 as I am passing through and operate from 
whatever is available at the time.  Unfortunately, that means only two 
passes in the case of FN05 and one pass in the case of FN06. FN07 is 
another matter as you will see.  FN08 might happen on Monday morning.

PLEASE NOTE:  All times shown are in EASTERN TIME.  Add or subtract as 
necessary for the zone you are in.  I'm conversant in UTC, but this is 
just easier for me.

ALSO NOTE:  I'm still very much a rookie on the linear satellites, 
having made only one QSO so far.  However, I've received a lot of 
coaching an encouragement from all of you and I think things will be OK 
after the first few attempts.  Bear with me.

THE SCHEDULE (if the columns don't align well then highlight the table 
and convert it to Courier font)

If I miss the first pass or two in FN07 it's because I haven't found a 
good place to set up.  Check @ve3hls on Twitter for updates.
