I'm thinking we had an authentic FO-29 QSO and could only hear one side due
to footprint. The good ole boys most likely were terrestrial running lots
of power and in what they figured was unused space. We had similar problems
in Germany with East German truckers using imported FM radios.

Just now on FO-29, I observed and recorded part of some strong FM QRM. These
signals corresponded to an uplink of 145.900, and were from at least two
sources, as there was a Spanish language QSO (of which I caught one US
callsign), and a possibly non-amateur QSO in English with a northeastern
accent and foul language. One or more of these may be originating from an
Echolink node or similar gateway outside of the identifying station's
control. I want to put this recording out there for anyone who might know or
recognize the stations, and anyone that may hear something I didn't. The
recording ends at about 16:08:15Z today.

My daughter Faith Hannah (AE4FH) and I will be operating on FM satellites
from Sint Maarten on August 1 and possibly August 9 if there is time between
flights and also from Saba from August 2 - August 9. She is heading to Saba
(where we used to live) with the Youth DX Adventure. There will be three
youth hams and their parents, as well as three team leaders on the
DXpedition. The callsign from Saba will be PJ6Y. Most of these kids have
NEVER been on satellite before. Please spread out your calls so they can
get as many people in the log as possible.

AMSAT'ers,
I loaded SatPC32 onto a new laptop I plan to use on upcomingGrid Expeditions
from the website. However, I get an errormessage when I try to run it.
(Windows 7 on Lenovo Thinkpad)
Runtime error 217
When I Google that message, all I get are links to programs thatwant to sell
me software to scan my computer to fix it.
Any clues on how to fix this problem?

If a Ham was to transmit from the North pole what grids would he/she be
activating?
I've heard that RR could be the poles grid, but wouldn't the longitudinal
intersection of all 18 North grids from AR - RR converge at the pole?
That would give you 180 grids for one contact!

I re-listened to the audio. Indeed, the call was KD4MDF. His accent was
definitely central American Spanish. Most likely a Hispanic-American; the
way he used the phrase "y yo lo creo" is a colloquial Spanish expression
used by many Mexican-Americans. Literally translated it means "ok, I got
that". It really means " .. and, yes, that is it ..." If he were European
Spanish (the Mother-tongue) he would have said " Y Ya lo creo". There are
so many distinct accents and little catch phrases in Spanish it it just like
English. When I was in Spain, locals would immediately identify me as
having learned Spanish from a Mexican. FYI my mother was raised by a
Mexican Nanny who was Poncho Villa's youngest sister. I have lots of QSOs
in Spanish as well as having done voice intercept operations for years, so I
am sort of attuned, as it were. Never have a problem on CW, however :-).
BTW, if you listen to the drug traffickers on 40 meters, you will hear that
they have "zapatas" (
shoes) --- those are kilos of heroin. Enough of this off-topic stuff
already!
