Any sat will make the distance, but you will not be able to 'Ragchew' on an FM satellite as you are sharing a limited resource.- Only one QSO at a time. Best approach for a chat is a linear transponder which will support several QSOs at once. Try FO-29 or AO-7 Even so, you will be limited to 20 minutes about 6 times a day. For a really long chat, 40m is probably best. - Start studying for that licence upgrade ! 73 David G0MRF In a message dated 19/06/2011 00:16:14 GMT Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
A Technician class friend of mine and I would like to ragchew between His QTH in Lindale, TX (32.495164 N, 95.513233 W) and My QTH in Phelan, CA (34.436400 N, 117.468649 W) with the exception of oscar 0 is anything flying that would enable this on a frequency above 50MHZ?
