Default Did anyone copy SuitSat ???

Only once did my bride catch a voice transmission. It was on Saturday
morning @ 8:35 EST. Male voice "This is Suitsat One". That was the only
transmission monitored here in Rhode Island.

I travel daily throughout Rhode Island, Central & Western Massachusetts
and have on board an Icom IC-2100h FM only transceiver using a 5/8 wave
vertical antenna.

Some of the locations I must work in are above average terrain by a few
hundred feet or so. The radio is on from 6:00 a.m. until I return in the
afternoon.

Since that Saturday morning, I have heard nothing that I could say was
emanating from the Suitsat-1 project, much to my disappointment, but I
still have not given up listening all day long, just in case.

I do hope in the future there will be further projects that will not
only include Amateur Radio community, but as in this one, all people the
world over who care to listen.


Very 73 and keep an ear open, and who knows !
