I can try this coming weekend to work some pass but forget AO-7 on the 10 meter downlink signal are too weak only the 2 meter downlink is usually good in SSB. Sked is always better as both party does not called endlessly in the void of space. 73 "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe DSTAR urcall VE2DWE WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
