Hi Ted, Glad to hear you are trying to work AO-51 and experimenting. A good place to check for a recent report of most amateur radio satellites is here: http://oscar.dcarr.org/ It looks like AO-51 has been operational, so you might review your system again. Sometimes it's the little

Drew, I only tried the ao51 passes yesterday, but will try some other sats this afternoon. The feed line is Beldin 9913 with the solid conductor. Line is probably a bit less than 50'. Pretty sure that is not an issue as that is the same coax line that was connected to the antenna that I normally
