[amsat-bb] AK cruise results

[Lee810@xxxxxxx]

I just wanted to thank all the stations that helped to make my Alaskan Inside 
Passage Cruise a 'satellite grid square success.'  I activated 15 grid 
squares from the ship.  New grids worked from were:

CN89, CO70, CO52, CO53, CO34, CO28, CO29, CO19, CO18, CO26, CO45, CO44, CO43, 
CO60, and CN79.

I made more than 120 contacts and got a lot of interest from the bystanders 
while working satellites from the deck of the ship.  This was the inaugural 
geek cruise called the 'Perl Whirl.' FMI see:

I logged many of you and will QSL if you send me cards or email letting me 
know which grids you need confirmed.  I realized that the AK stations have a 
tremendous advantage on the polar-orbiting FM birds and routinely carry on 
rag chews on these birds with frequent long passes each day.  The mayhem 
subsides substantially after the footprint clears the U.S.

Stations worked included K6CCC, K6YK, K7XQ, KB0VBZ, KC7QFS, N7SFI,  KK5DO, 
KK5YY, KC0COU, KI0AG, N0VSE, KL0BK, KL0RM, KL4E,  NL7E, KW7E, KO6TH, N2YQP, 
N7QBZ, N7WNX, VE5SWL, VE6EGN, W6QJ, W7JPI, W7VEW, WA4III, WB6JTJ, WB7AEA, 
WB7SFO, WL7BD, WL7VO, XE2CK, XE2YVW

There were also a few whose callsigns that were probably copied incorrectly 
from memory because they failed to lookup properly but I did my best to 
record them at the time of the pass.

73,
