John, I was working as W6D for that pass (AO-91, 9/15/18, 1901 - 1911UTC).
?I copied an AG7ND (that operator also said 'handheld'), but I was not
able to hear the grid.
that may have been the call you heard.
that was a pretty busy pass.

Remember that registration for Symposium goes from $60 to $65 at the
end of the day today.
Like any good amateur radio organization, we run on UTC, so the
early-bird $60 rate expires at 23:59:59 UTC.

Hans:
With regard to your question about poor performance on your homebrew LFA-
My understanding is that resonance is greatly affected in long boom
Yagi-Uda arrays by the boom type. It is not simply a matter of changing
the dimensions of the DE but also the parasitic element lengths and
spacing. The ARRL Antenna book 23rd edition has a detailed section on
the new LFA and OFA antennas, and they caution readers to stick to the
'cookbook' closely or expect to spend a lot of time modeling the new
configuration. On short booms, the differences don't make so much
difference, but when the boom gets to be several wavelengths long it is
an increasingly important factor in radiation pattern and resonance of
the parasitic elements.
The difference in width of your loop and the DE width is likely also an
issue.
Have you done any computer modeling of your design?

Beware: HF content !
In addition to the obvious time and frequency applications there is also
a
plethora of propagation science that can easily be accomplished by even
us mere amateurs.
To demonstrate x and o mode propagation, I have often used a setup where
I
GNSS PPS trigger a regular analogue or digital oscilloscope measuring
the
audio beat of the received timing pulses. In this manner,the o/x mode
superimposed, time delayed aggregate pulse can be observed and the
individual
time variant (multipath) fading of the LHCP and RHCP combination can be
very
easily observed and visually separated on the scope screen with a
regular
HF receiver and e.g. simple (linearly polarised) dipole.
Obviously both propagation paths can be observed separated in a similar
manner using a dual channel oscilloscope and a circularly dual polarised
HF antenna. Extremely interesting to study as the x and o mode MUF's
creep past the frequency of observation as a function of E and F layer
ionisation:

Here are the endorsements and new VUCC Satellite
Awards issued by the ARRL for the period September 1, 2018
through October 1, 2018.
Congratulations to all those who made the list this month!

If you find errors or omissions. please contact me

and I'll revise the announcement.
This list was developed by comparing the ARRL .pdf
listings for September 1, 2018 and October 1, 2018.
It's a visual comparison so omissions are possible.
Apologies if your call was not mentioned.
Thanks to all those who are roving to grids that are
rarely on the birds. They are doing most of the work!

Just an idle thought - Who can claim to have made QSOs through the

different satellites (listed below).

You forgot some of the older ones. In addition to many of the ones on your
list, I have made QSOs through:
UO14-my first satellite QSO ever!
RS12/13
RS15
FO20
AO51
SO41
SO67-What a downlink that had!
HO68
I miss VO52, that was a nice satellite even if it didn't have a lot of
activity on it.
