[TAC] Satellite DXpedition survey

[Ian Hill]

I posted this message on the Amsat BB just to see what kind of reaction I
would get.

Hello everyone. I'm going to be going on a DXpedition to the island of
Miquelon (FP) from November approximately 20th through the 30th. I wanted to
see how much
interest there would be in me taking my IC-910 and getting on FO-29, VO-52
and maybe
even the FM birds if people can behave themselves. I'll take my gear if I
can get enough responses to make the extra weight and work of
setting up a station worth while.

Ian K8MM


Here are the replies.....


I still need FP, so I'd be thrilled to work you, especially on the SSB sats.

Hi Ian,
I think a lot of Europeans would be very interested to
work you.
I would :-)

Hi Ian,
I would certainly be interested in working FP on the sats, especially
the FM birds!

Hi Ian, I would certainly be interested in working you on as many LEO's as
possible,I did have a qso with FP on AO13, I think it was, many years ago
but
never got a card back.

Hello Ian.
I'm sure that will be a new one for a lot of people. Especially if you work
into Europe on the low elevation passes.
Count me as interested
Good luck

Hi, Ian --
I'd certainly be interested in trying to work into GN16 on either FO-29 or
VO-52.  If you decide to take sat gear, will you post on the bb again to
give readers a heads-up?
I already have St. Pierre et Miquelon on HF, and nearby Twillingate, NF
VO1OR, Bill, on FO-29; Bill's QTH is in GN29.
Great idea, hope to see you on the birds!

Hello Ian,
Certainly I am very interested to get a new DXCC entity.
While I was reading your message in the AMSAT_BB, the FO-29 footprint was
perfect to make a QSO FP-XE lands.
I did not check if in the DX-pedition dates would be possible.
I am stuck in 92 entities in satellite. Without a HEO is really difficult to
reach my dream (satellite DXCC).
Hopefully there are many more like me ("hungry" for entities via satellite)
and you get the support to take the decision.

Ian,
I see that you are considering taking satellite equipment to FP.  I will be
trying to work you on the satellites if you do.
