WD-40, a Hard Drive, a Coat-Hanger Antenna, Dumpster Diving, and Amateur Radio Satellites from the Azores

 

Last month I was talking to Ira VP2EIH on my new 1712 SSB rig.  Ira is interested in satellites.  Talking to him caused me to dig up some old material about satellite operations.   Here is a 2003 QST article about working the satellites from the Azores: 


Regarding the usefulness of WD-40, during my time in the Azores John EI7BA once told me that WD-40 is, "the Pope's pee!"  Apparently that is high praise in Ireland.  It is indeed good stuff. 

Messias CU2BJ is a Silent Key.  I hope Ray CU3GC, WL7CDK is doing well.
