AMSAT News Service Bulletin 138.04 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. May 18, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-138.04
>From May 19th to May 30th, and then again possibly 2 weeks later, Drew,
KO4MA, will be in Anguilla for work. He will at the least have an arrow and
HT to make QSOs on UO-14, and SO-50 or AO-27 if they are on or still on by
the time they get to 18 degrees latitude. A reciprocal license application
has been submitted, but since it must be picked up in person, and this is a
work trip, the exact date that operations can start as well as the callsign
is
unknown at this time.
Drew says, "I would like to do AO-40 too, but my luggage allowance is VERY
restricted due to work stuff. With the close range and attitude, I may be
able to use the UHF half of the arrow and a helix/preamp combo, or line an
umbrella with foil when I get there and try that. If it looks like I can fit
the gear, and it will work, I'll take the radios to do AO-40 (Yaesu
FT-790/817 combo). If I do make AO-40, it will be only in the earliest AM
hours before work. I will endeavor to assemble this setup this week and test
it
before I go."
There is also a chance of an evening pass or 2 from nearby Saint
Martin/Maarten (PJ7/FS).
QSL direct only, with an SASE, or SAE and green stamp/euro, to my QRZ.com
address.
[ANS thanks Drew, KO4MA, for the above information]
