Eric, AO-7, FO-29, VO-52 should all work fine for that. I'm just southwest of Fort Worth and they give me California at least a couple of times a day (usually more) for 10-20 minutes per pass. 73, Jerry NØJY On 6/18/2011 6:05 PM, Eric Fort wrote: A Technician class friend of mine and I would like to ragchew between His QTH in Lindale, TX (32.495164 N, 95.513233 W) and My QTH in Phelan, CA (34.436400 N, 117.468649 W) with the exception of oscar 0 is anything flying that would enable this on a frequency above 50MHZ?

Happy father's day to all I think it all depends on the size of the footprint and therefore the altitude of the bird? I don't believe the FM sats have that kind of altitude. Not that I want to start the HEO vs. LEO argument on fathers day. 73 Jeff WB2SYK FN13XC Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

... ragchew ... between TX and Phelan, CA ... No birds. How about Echolink? If you both have Apple iPhones or iPod touch units, iPTT is a fun app. Clint, K6LCS ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Any sat will make the distance, but you will not be able to 'Ragchew' on an FM satellite as you are sharing a limited resource.- Only one QSO at a time. Best approach for a chat is a linear transponder which will support several QSOs at once. Try FO-29 or AO-7 Even so, you will be limited to 20 minutes about 6 times a day. For a really long chat, 40m is probably best. - Start studying for that licence upgrade ! 73 David G0MRF In a message dated 19/06/2011 00:16:14 GMT Daylight Time, eric.f...@gmail.com writes: A Technician class friend of mine and I would like to ragchew between His QTH in Lindale, TX (32.495164 N, 95.513233 W) and My QTH in Phelan, CA (34.436400 N, 117.468649 W) with the exception of oscar 0 is anything flying that would enable this on a frequency above 50MHZ?
