Unfortunately, it's getting pretty boring talking to myself... Does anyone live in or know anyone in New Zealand or southern South America who would be interested in attempting a satellite contact with KC4AAA? This has never been done before at this station, at least on the ham satellites. I'm in the process of putting together a station for some of the other satellites to try to make contact with the states, but right now can only come up on RS-10 and Eyesat-1. Co-visibility to NZ on RS-10 is brief, but contact would be possible. Brent Jones KB1UK/KC4AAA ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #123 ******************************
