Reports from other stations in the Duluth, MN area indicate that Owen was operating orbits 129 and 130 this morning with good signals into the area. I have excellent full quieting recordings of him on orbit 134 as he passed over mid-Montana. On that pass, he acknowledged WA7DPM, N7ARE (on CW, yet!) and W5FFM. Apparently, DPM was broadcasting on several channels, since Owen commented on how he 'certainly covered the spectrum'. Signal levels into a 12 db RHCP yagi and TS-700 were running as high as S9 +20 db. Ron
