Good Afternoon,
I will be conducting amateur satellite demonstrations and an on site seminar
tomorrow 6.15.2017, from 14:30 to 2100 U.
The event will be an activation of Heckscher State Park- KFF-2070 under the
WWFF Parks on the Air event, http://wwff.co/
I will use my call sign, W2JV from FN30. In addition an HF station will be
operating.
I hope to start with the FO-29- 14:44 U pass and pick up as many passes to
21:00 as possible, thank you.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I'm currently considering another /mm activation of a hard to reach
California grid, this time it's CM79. I see that there have been land
expeditions in the past but the area is not very conducive to working
satellites. Heavy tree cover and rugged land make it challenging to get to
and operate from. Working from the coast isn't an option as the land is very
steep leaving only really high passes and keeping a lot of people out of the
footprint.
That said, I think I've found enough excuses to need to go /mm again. There
seems to be at least one charter out of Shelter Cove just north of CM79 that
could potentially get me into a good spot to work the grid properly. Before
I invest too much effort into researching my options I would like to know
how much interest there is in this grid. I know several ops on twitter are
lacking it in their logs but I would like to reach a larger audience to see
who is interested. Let me know if this is something people would be
interested in.

Satellite Friends and Colleagues,
Next week from 6/20 thru 6/27 I'll be on Ambergris Caye, in the country of
Belize, in grid square EK67. I'll of course have a radio and an arrow with
me and I'm planning to operate as V31CI on selected satellite passes when
other non-ham tasks don't have me busy. Since V31NJ was just down there in
April, most of the serious grid chasers have already got their squares
filled in, so I'm going to focus on SO50, AO85, and FO29, where the passes
reach the most number of people possible. I do plan to try and get to EK68
and EK57 for at least one pass during the week (to increase my rover
totals). I'll announce my plans on Twitter @xxxxxx - so watch there for
updates.
Catch you on the birds.
73!

Is there any orbit info relative to other satellites yet? Like what they
are roughly near. I know that's easier for ISS-deployed cubesats than
launched objects.
Or better yet, even preliminary TLE's for either of these objects?
Thanks!

Their North American passes have already occurred for today. KM0MMM,
AA5PK, and others have reported hearing the beacons. A video posted on
Twitter by KM0MMM of his SDR seems to show signals within the
transponder passband as well.
I will be listening on my next pass in Washington DC around 09:00 UTC
tomorrow morning.
