I have an ICOM IC910 with the L band added module and last operated on vo-52 in usb, and I am fluent in cw too...but it's difficult to carry this kit by hand (hi!) so I do qrp with an Arrow as well, from all over Europe. And I haven't been able to get into SO-50 for some time on below 5W. AO27 only kicks in for half the pass here. ;>) 73 de andy g0sfj Hi Andy, G0SFJ It's impossible to access VO-52 in FM with a 5 watt HT and arrow antennas because for a decent QSO on CW and SSB you need at least 50 watt and a 13 dBi 70 cm antenna. Do not try to access VO-52 in FM with your IC910 We, operators of VO-52 linear transponder on CW and SSB in Europe we have a lot of counter measures against any FM intruder into the VO-52 linear passband. 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
