During May there are plans for two separate attempts to make contacts from Newfoundland using the QO-100<\/strong> geostationary satellite amateur transponders.<\/p>\n Newfoundland is just outside the coverage area of QO-100, the elevation at Signal Hill at St. Johns is -0.9\u00b0, however, contacts have been made from Indonesia at an elevation as low as -1.3\u00b0 so there is a chance of success.<\/p>\n Gopan VO1\/M0XUU (VU3HPF) will be in Newfoundland from May 8-15 and will attempt to make QO-100 contacts.<\/p>\n David VO1\/G0MRF and Graham VO1\/G3VZV will be in Newfoundland May 15-19 and plan to be active on QO-100 using SSB \/ CW \/ FT8 \/ FT4 \/ DATV.<\/p>\n You can follow posts on X at:<\/p>\n Gopan M0XUU \u2013 https:\/\/X.com\/vu3hpf Video of the presentation \u2018Making QO-100 contacts from North America \u2013 A new challenge\u2019, given by David G0MRF at the 2022 AMSAT-UK Colloquium<\/p>\n Information on QO-100 is at <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n
