Bill, I have on several occasions, while I am listening to my own signals (in CW) on the SAT's AO-07, FO-29 and VO-52, when they are LOS to the North of the US and have copied the signals down to -6 degrees on nights that there have Aurora alerts posted from several reflectors that I subscribe to. Most of the time my Northern LOS for these birds is 1 to 2 degrees when there are no alerts. Certainly no expert on this phenomenon, but I believe that the signals are enhanced beyond the normal range during the enhancement conditions. 73, Louis CW, The original digital mode AMSAT #37061: FIST #3606 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bill Dzurilla" <billdz....@yahoo.com> > To: <amsat-bb@amsat.org> > Sent: Sunday, March 13, 2011 12:25 AM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Is it 100% impossible to work a satellite below > thehorizon? > > >>I was giving a presentation at our club meeting called Working DX on the >>Satellites and afterwards someone had a good question: is it at all >>possible that tropo, skip, or other form of enhanced propagation can >>enable >>a contact via a satellite below the horizon? >> >> It has never happened to me.
