    It's like fishing, folks. Some days are a bust. You can see them but you can't catch one. This is what makes it interesting. Like I say in the intro. Each pass is different is so many ways. Just enjoy the journey. Plus, it's always fun to listen.

    MAX ELEVATION: 59.7° 

    STATIONS WORKED: KE4ZXW (16:32), W4KVW (16:32), W5RKN (16:34).  

    I am especially thrilled to have worked KE4ZXW, which is an amateur radio demonstration station located at the Virginia Air and Space Center (VASC), 600 Settlers Landing Road, Hampton, VA ( www.vasc.org ). The station is operated by the VASC Amateur Radio Group, inc and is supported by other local amateur radio clubs. In addition to a History of Amateur Radio Exhibit, the station provides the capability to demonstrate HF, VHF, UHF communications in CW, Voice, and Digital modes, to visitors and school groups. The main feature of the exhibit is the ability to communicate with amateur radio satellites, and with the International Space Station.

    Their goals are to demonstrate the Amateur Radio Hobby to visitors, to show school groups how fast technology has changed over the past century, and to encourage students to stay in school, and study Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
