YL Latvia SO-50 report
G0SFJ operated on SO-50 as YL/G0SFJ /QRP/P from Latvia on Sunday 25 April with a THD7E (5W) and an Arrow.
On the first pass from 0834- 0843 utc I worked G8ATE,G7HIA, EB3GND (bestDX) and G3LGR but then the satellite seemed to shut down on me and I could
not get in.
On the second pass (1014 + utc) I could hear many G stations calling me but could not access the satellite myself (it was an 85 deg pass over the UK).
I missed the third pass – 1157 + utc for a late lunch (utc +3)
At the fourth pass 13:39 + utc, again I could hear but could not get in.
The lucky 4 will get a QSL card from my PC printer, as will any SWL who can report the 6 figure locator square I gave
Thanks to NSC-ARS (GB2NSC) for the loan of the THD7E.Thanks again to Gunnars YL2PG and his XYL Anita for all their support.
