"Sounding good" as in the systems are back up and running or "good" as

Hey, Gang.
I have fallen victim to the old QRZ.com logbook call sign change
Houdini problem.
I changed my call from K3UAZ to KK6L in February/March-ish after
moving to California, and I had my entire satellite logbook online at
QRZ.com with no consolidated paper log.
Of course, the whole thing w
Thanks, Hans! We're looking forward to it!

So, I ran the passes yesterday and got updates on all the current sats
so I could get back into things after an absence, and I was quite
surprised...
Am I to understand that the only active FM satellites now are AO-27 and SO-50?
HO-68 bit the dust.
AO-51 is in the crapper for a while.
SO-67 is
Just so everyone knows, I find all of this utter ridiculous; and while
I disagree with all of the folks who say "this is just a hobby" (since
many of us are also commercial operators and heavily involved in
ARES/RACES, etc. as certified emergency radio operators), I do believe
that some civility is
Is anyone else in Northern California having interference on the SATS
from PAVE/PAWS, particularly on the downlink for SO-50?
I notice some S3+ modulated noise blocking all weak signals. If I'm
lucky, I hear the Sats at S3, so the noise is really squashing at
least that Sat and others on passes to
I thought I would give a listen for the HO-68 beacon this evening, and
even though I don't have CW on the FT-60R, I knew that you could
listen low and hear a bit of the signal on the FM side bleeding
through.
Sure enough, I heard a weak, high-pitch CW identifier repeating itself
wy down in the
So, I've been trying to use SO-67 and HO-68 for a few days now, and I
have had no luck.
For equipment, I've been using a Yaesu FT-60R programmed with the
primary frequencies and two secondaries programmed on either side for
Doppler shift. My antenna is an ELK 2m/440cm.
Now, I know SO-67 has been
