Hey Guys,
Any of you ever operate on SO-50?

It's been 4 years but I used to stand out in the yard scaring the neighbors with my Arrow hand heald yagi working the birds.  SO-50 was a favorite.  I tried to hit it during Field Day a few years ago, but since several other FM repeater (easy to work) satellites died, it was overcrowded.

I work SO-50 quite often.

If anyone need grid EL48oc, I will be working from this all water grid (Gulf of Mexico) when I return to work in a week.
Seems everyone wants this rare grid....
