[amsat-bb] K6R Update September 16

[Jimmy Blanchette]

Hi all,





As the Pilot Relay Station for the K6R expedition, I am happy to report that everything is going extremely well so far. Earlier this evening, K6R communicated a status update audio report which I have recorded and happy to make available to the community. Please use the Dropbox link below in order to download the MP3 audio message from K6R:

In addition, in order to give a taste of the excellent work that David and Wyatt have been doing on the Island, I have made a video/audio recording of a portion of a SO-50 pass which took place late this afternoon. You can use the Dropbox link below in order to download the file (.wmv format):

There will be another report tomorrow evening.





Thanks to the David (KG5CCI) and Wyatt (AC0RA) for activating this extremely rare grid and for the outstanding job!




Stay tuned.





73, Jimmy
