[amsat-bb] Re: HO-68 and FO-29 common uplink

Hmmm... Interesting. That means that we all need to check both satellites before using either one, to be sure the orbits and modes are compatible, and avoid the passes that aren't (no matter how tempting). Dual-bird SSB/CW ops may be confusing, but accidentally running high power FM into FO-

Hi Alan and Everyone on the list, I have not been able to make contact with HO-68 on V/U FM voice. However, I do hear a CW beacon on the 435.7900 MHz downlink. With this new schedule, I am looking forward to trying again. I just want to ensure my settings are correct. Uplink 145.

[amsat-bb] Re: HO-68 Schedule - 06-13 June 2010

Those settings look correct to me. I made my first sat contact on HO-68 using just a Yaesu VX-7R ht and an Arrow II handheld yagi. So long as you're homebrew antenna was constructed correctly, you're aiming for a realistic max elevation (I usually aim for 30 degrees or higher), you're tuning your d
