Greenland on ham radio satellites

Reid, N0RC plans to operate on FM amateur radio satellites from Thule, Greenland (Grid FQ56) for one month starting March 23.

Reid describes his plans, "I will try to use satellites that uplink on VHF, because my transmissions on UHF would interfere with the BMEWS radar on base. I'll need to determine if BMEWS interferes with UHF downlink which will affect my satellite operation."

Reid's schedule will be as work/passes/weather permits. He plans to primarily operate the FM satellites due to equipment limitations.

He plans some HF operating in between passes. Look for OX3RC on the satellites and on HF starting March 23.

Reid concludes, "I cannot give a specific time of operation because my primary mission is work, and my work schedule is dependent on weather."

Since he will not have a set operating schedule Reid will
send out an email right before I go on the air for that time period.

Reid has setup an email list on Google Groups:
