Re: [amsat-bb] 435 MHz AO40 uplink

Not here.
I am pretty minimal on uplink, 9 element vertically polarized yagi with
maybe 40W delivered to the antenna.  I was able to copy myself quite
well from 11Z-13Z, and worked 9 EU plus 4X1AS this morning.
Most stations worked were on U-band up running generally a bit more
power w/ no trouble copying here.
I did note that past around 1215Z or so that signals weakened
signficantly, and QSB deepened.
