Hello
I worked the last three passes of AO-51. I am observing some very deep fades
during the pass. Some at fairly high elevations. Rx conditions are a three
foot primestar dish, 5 1/2 turn helix feed, 3731AA transystem down converter,
forty feet of RG-6 to a TS700A rcvr. Signals will peak at close to +15-20db,
then fade to S2-4, which is about my noise level, then rise again to +15-20. I
would be interested to know if anyone else experiences this, I do have some
trees that can cause some variable conditions. Your mileage may vary. There
are only a few on the bird, we can actually have a conversation!
