I was also surprised at how quiet SO-50 was during my initial attempts. I thought there something wrong with my setup. I find the traffic on SO-50 is very light. Don't know why...could be the time of day (or night in my case). I had great help from KC2WQW and W6ZKH. Regardless of anyone else being on, when you can hear myself on the downlink, you know you're getting through. have fun!
