As an addendum, I was on RS-15 (I think ...) which gets around 70cm, and I
heard nothing come back.  It was a nearly overhead pass too.  Rats !

Jamie,
I hate to be the one breaking this to you, but you have a problem somewhere.
I heard you calling CQ near the center of the FO20 passband and called you
several times, as did another station. After about four calls each the other
station and myself moved up 10kc and had a QSO. What type of setup are you
using, specifically for receive?

Drew, KO4MA
