[amsat-bb] Roaming Oahu and Maui

[Mac A. Cody]

John,

I worked N7AGF via AO91 while he was in Hawaii in March this year.
He was in BK29gq and I was in EM12ek for the QSO.  The pass was
about 0.5 degrees maximum elevation for myself and a couple of
degree for him.  The pass lasted about three minutes but I could
hear him well as soon as AO91 was at AOS.  That QSO is still the
longest QSO I have ever done! Unfortunately, it was outside of my
WAS radius for my QTH in EM12px, so I couldn't count it for that.
There have been passes of AO91 that could work from EM12px but I
have not been working on arranging a sked.  I'm afraid there are
no passes available for me during the dates you are in Hawaii.

The Hawaiian Islands appear to have ten (10) different grids and I hope I could work all of them.      I can only work FM satellites AO91 and AO92.    I will also listen for Lilisat-2 but haven't any success in my home Grids of CN87.
