[amsat-bb] GN36 satellite operations April 4/2006

["Mark Saurman" <vo1one@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the short notice, but the weatherman is rarely correct
beyond one day into the future, hi hi!

I will be travelling down to Port Kirwan, Newfoundland in GN36
tomorrow to make some satellite contacts from this rare grid.  Best I
can tell is that the Amateur Radio population in this grid is a grand
total of 8 hams, and who knows how many of them are active, let alone
have satellite capabilites.

I will list the passes I'll be QRV on here, although however your
email client renders this text may make it look horrible.  I've made a
quick webpage which contains these passes, and also a plot of what
elevations I will be able to work down to and maps.  In between
passes, I'll be on HF 20m, 17m or whatever happens to be open at the
time.  I'll also have APRS running on 30m and 2m.
