Sure!
I´ve worked very low passes (5º and less) using a TH-F7E and a CJU antenna
(even a dual band whip). Lots of transatlantic QSOs from mobile. My F7E is
quite sensitive, but the bandwith is somewhat wide for SSB:

I even used it for the AO-40 downlink in my mobile setup (glory days!!!):

Glad to hear that FO29 is back-now to get on it! Has anyone tried using a
Kenwood TH-F6A HT to receive FO29, since it does receive SSB? I would be
hooking it to an external antenna. Is it sensitive enough on SSB to hear
the satellite? The QST review shows its sensitivity is a little down on
HF and 6m SSB.

Good to hear FO29 back operating over the US!
Lets not forget that our flying friends are fragile and we need to keep
looking to the future and the need for replacements.
We may get another miracle and have one of the crippled birds come back
to life in the future, but do we really want to depend on chance?
This is a hobby and we will always be considered "second banana" when it
comes to getting help to fund a launch.
Write someone, call someone, offer to help or heaven forbid try and find
an extra dollar or two to donate.
I don't know where best to use anyone's talents or their monies but I do
know this, if we do nothing there won't be someone come along and say, "
we need an amateur satellite, lets launch one!" We need to take the
initiative and get another satellite on the launch pad and then beg,
borrow or steal a ride into space.
A very Happy New Year to everyone and lets get behind some of these
satellites and find a way to get them launched!
