Hello Jean-Francois,
I have worked VO-52 with omni antennas and an FT-817 on SSB with no problem at all. FO-29 should work too as long as there are no high-power stations pumping the satellite AGC. 73, Tony AA2TX --- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-François Ménard" <jf.va...@gmail.com> To: AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Sent: Tuesday, August 4, 2009 8:53:17 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [amsat-bb] FO-29 and VO-52 Hi, I would like to know if I'm dreaming, but will it be possible for me to use these two satellites with my pair of FT-817 running on SatPC32?? Am I asking too much for my 5W only radios ?? I'm using 2 Eggbeater antenna from M²... EB-144 and EB432 with AR² preamps on both antennas feed with heliax. 73 -- Jean-François Ménard VA2SS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AMSAT www.amsat.org / Member #37102 ARRL www.arrl.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
