[AReU] AO40 Today

[w4tas]

The pass band on AO40 today around 5:00 PM EST was LOADED!!!!!

It sounded like 20 meters during a contest. I made a couple of contacts
and just listened for a while. It was amazing as the signals were real
good and the satellite was near apogee. The squint was below
5 degrees however and that's what made the signals so strong.
Didn't talk to any of the BARS or AREU guys but had a good time
anyway.

Anyone interested in joining the AO40 crowd just drop me an E-Mail
and I'll point you in the right direction and give you plenty of mentoring.
