Juan,
I was on that pass but was unable to work you; I was hoping
for N8RO (FN51) as well, but no joy.
I recorded the entire pass and can send you the sound file.
I need to download it from my recorder.
Maybe on another pass?... :-)

Patrick,
Thank you for the eye-ball at the ARRL Convention, and the
new grid today on SO-50.
Congrats to Drew (KO4MA) for his last grid east of the
Mississippi (same pass -- at least that's what I heard).

had great weather in New England, and a great FD outing.
After making the needed QSO,
I had a few more failed attempts on subsequent passes where
I had trouble finding myself.
Spent the rest of the weekend on 20CW, and trying to conjure
up an opening on 6M.

Can you guys share details of the station?

No amps, right?

No automation on doppler or tracking, correct? (one guy on

Chris,
My bad... I read the previous post as _last night_ (Thr) at
0347Z, not Wednesday.
There were a couple of us that read it wrong, so we worked
each other instead. :-)
Will look for you tonight (Friday) if the rain holds off. I
am handheld portable as well (Arrow and FT530).

His previous post, where he relates working the amateur
radio equipment (possibly for the first time?) is good as
well.

Bird is directly overhead. Epic fail.
So what did I do wrong? Did I have a de-sense issue because of the crossed
yagi? Enough power? What sideband should the uplink have been (LSB, correct)?
Even if it was wrong, I should have heard CW, right?

Let me ask this another way...
Assuming minimal setup prior to each pass, can I track a LEO with a single
rotor well enough for QSO’s? (single rotor control in one hand, VFO/Doppler on
my other)
