RE: [amsat-bb] Ok, so what's available in Mode A

["Michael P. Olbrisch" <kd9kc@xxxxxxx>]

While not making it my life's ambition, I have tried several times to get on AO-27.  Just couldn't make it.  Nothing but wall-to-wall hello-hi-good days-greetings-how you doings and not even a short break.  I'm not being harsh, just factual from my experience.  If you want to be heard on AO-27 with any kind of reliability, you will need to have the power/antenna to get it.  Anything else just isn't heard.  Maybe the week day passes are easier, but since I have a job I wouldn't know.

Mike,

it's a new contact, exchange the necessary data.  Most of these same operators will
let a new user, or a portable operator, or a special event op have the bird for a
reasonable length of time
