Winter Field Day is this coming weekend, and it offers a total of SIX multipliers for making at least one CW/SSB and one FM satellite contact. In addition another ONE multiplier can be achieved by sending/receiving a message via WinLink while at WFD. I run the WB4SON-10 gateway on 145.050 MHz and it is an easy shot from our WFD location in Portsmouth RI.
If the gods of the ISS are willing (repeater not turned off for a EVA or other activity) and the stars align, I should be good to go for SEVEN multipliers. There will be good passes of RS44 and the ISS starting at 1:56pm local time on Sunday.
My thanks to the following who helped me test my radio out this afternoon:
N4QWF RS-44, KB8CR ISS, W4NEG ISS, K0LB ISS, N8HI ISS, N5ACR ISS
JO-97 and MO-122 were also calibrated (Great downlink signals but nobody responding to CQ)
