Just now on AO-7 I heard a terrestrial station (DL on LSB) working a contest
of some sort. He was pretty weak here, but thought I copied G4VF? His
frequency would have been 432.160 or so. Always interesting hearing the
unintentional sat ops...reminds me of RS-12/13.

I can recall (many years ago) during a perigee pass of AO-13 over SA, I
could clearly hear SA stations working terrestrial UHF FM, mobile, with
the satellite on the omni antennas. Perhaps I should have sent out QSL
cards with SWL reports, just to encourage those operators to consider
the possibility of raising their eyes above the horizon.....
