If you can, call CQ. That's how I got the 1 CW QSO I've ever gotten on the sats. I would have had 2 if I hadn't messed up the VFO.
I've really got to get my sat station set up again so I can try again... I love the somewhat warbley sound of CW on AO-7. :) Sean - VA5LF On 2011-06-08, at 10:49 AM, Tom Schaefer, NY4I wrote: > I'm still learning about SATs but I just was curious if my experience was > typical regarding CW activity. > > On most passes, I am lucky to hear a single CW station on FO29 or other > linear transponder birds. > > I monitor during the week from my desk when MacDoppler tells me a pass is > coming up. > > Is this fairly typical during the week? > > Thanks, > > Tom NY4I > > > Tom Schaefer, NY4I > n...@arrl.net > EL88pb > Monitoring EchoLink node KJ4FEC-L 489389 > DSTAR Capable APRS: NY4I-15 > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
