I've been wondering if anyone besides me has tried to hear themselves using an Arrow or Elk antenna via ARISSat's linear transponder.
If you have tried it and successfully heard yourself, please let me know. I'm curious as to what was your formula for success. The rig I've been using is an FT-847 and for an antenna either my Elk or Arrow mounted to a camera tripod. I've made about six attempts now on passes that I thought were very favorable to success. I've had zero trouble receiving telemetry or SSTV during these passes so I'm sure the bird was actually overhead during my attempts. I'm not ready to give up but time is running out. 73 Clayton W5PFG _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
