That's kind of late, though if there's any one out there it nice to have a bit of a chat. Did you transmit the with the 74.4 PL to turn the bird on? At that hour, it may not be on.
I try to work late passes on SO-50 when I can. The pass you tried to work was too far east to work from Phoenix, DM33. Hope to work you soon, FN42 & MA would be a new grid & State for me.....

I just finished constructing a WA5VJB yagi just a few hours ago. Was listening on the downlink during the pass but heard nothing. (Didn't try transmitting.) Maybe no one was on, maybe the downlink is shifted off frequency slightly (I see a note of reports of this in the AMSAT Status page for the bird), or maybe my setup is just broken (very possible -- it's all new and I don't know what I'm doing!). In any case, I'll be trying some other passes of FM sats tomorrow. vy 73 -chris N2YYZ _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
