I just did a dry run with my station, and think I'm ready to try an actual
pass.   I will be operating in "Robot36" mode on CAS-4B (17:00z) and CAS-4A
(17:30z) this afternoon as  first attempt.   I plan on shooting for the
lower portion of the 2m passband (going to target the lowest published
downlink frequency).  I will likely announce several times prior to first
transmitting to fine tune.   My test image is very simple black and white
call/grid.   If anybody hears it, please feel free to respond with an image
(short notice, I know), or voice.   If you don't hear me, then something
came up to pull me away from my computer or I simply can't get in.
