I too used HO-68 for the first time last night and found it incredibly
difficult to hold the repeater open for any decent length of time
despite having a good high pass. I question the sense in trying to run
digital and voice at the same time on the same frequency (although that
question is for minds much cleverer than mine(!); maybe that's where my
access problems were emanating from (?).
When I did get in though, the signal was very strong so congrats to the
team on that!
Thanks to W4AS and WA4NVM for providing me with my first two contacts on
this satellite - I hope the SSB mode is a bit easier to work!

satellite team for a very well operating satellite-the downlink signal was very
strong here. I look forward to getting on this one again.
What was all of the packet I was hearing on it? Is that other amateurs using
packet through it, or some other type of user with packet?
