Seems to me you are the better op. Sounds like you were doing everything right. It was the other station who needs a refresher on unidentified transmissions. Lady I heard they were illegal. Fortunately, the elmers far out number the jerks. Enjoy the birds. It's a great part if the hobby. 73

Hi Joe, You just keep it up! If you hear yourself on the Sat you are doing fine. I would even go a step further and say play with the Sat. Reduce your power and see what happens. Change your doppler settings and see how your signal drifts. Learn as much as possible and most of all have fun and yes

[amsat-bb] AO-27 Pass 2023 UTC

2012-07-06 Thread Joe Batty
Hi Guy's,   I think I was the only station from CN85 working this particular pass. I didn't hear any other station from CN85. I'm kind of taken back when some unidentified station identified "the CN85" station as always having problems and he doesn't know what he's doing or having problems with.

2012-07-06 Thread Jeff KB2M
I will be heading to PA this afternoon after work. So it looks like I won't be making anymore NJ k2i contacts. I just worked the second half of an AO-07 pass as k2i and got no takers. We plan on working with k2m for a few FM and SSB passes tomorrow morning from PA. We will be in DE for the 12:36 F
