Hi,
As I prepares for JY1SAT, I will be making some changes to the data
warehouse at data.amsat-uk.org, this will affect NAYIF-1 uploads
for short periods.
Dashboards will reconnect automatically each time the server comes up again.
Thank you for you patience.

Hi Mac,
I?m very glad to help! I remember that pass last year, if I recall just a
little after Field Day, and I remember that 100th on some grid line in the
middle of nowhere. It should be no problem to get you Alaska in the next
couple weeks!
I?ll still be roving around, just way the heck up there now! Maybe a bear
too? I should be able to get around the CONUS occasionally, we?ll see though.

undoubtedly remote (only access by air and sea), so for most days I?ll be
isolated to CO28, but I will no doubt make many excursions. I know at some
point in the spring I?ll be doing some simulator training in Anchorage. I?ll
definitely get around, so my northern roving is just beginning! There are
ferries and seaplanes and ASA flights leaving from Juneau every day, so I?ll
be able to get around! The terrain in Juneau itself will definitely pose a
challenge, but I?ll be doing my best to find the good spots to work from and
make sure anyone theoretically within range and capability gets Alaska and
CO28 on satellite!

David, PJ4/NA2AA was heard and worked here yesterday (afternoon and evening)
on XW-2F and FO-29. There was a minor pile-up during the FO-29 pass. Be
sure to get on and work him. It's important to keep the satellite DX
stations busy, so they enjoy their time on the air (and go back to do it
again!). And you won't get that many chances to work PJ4 via satellite.
And it's probably a new grid square if you're not looking for DXCC entities.
