Re: [amsat-bb] FO29 still silent June 1st

Same here in Fort Worth, Texas. We just had a 72 degree pass and I didn't 
hear much of anything on any of the frequencies. I used my headphones and 
for a while I thought I was hearing the noise floor on the transponder 
while going in and out of the passband, but I think my ears were playing 
tricks on me. I also transmitted a sustained carrier in the center of the 
passband for 30 seconds when the bird was at TCA(closest), but didn't get 
anything on the downlink. I hope we hear some good news soon on either 
FO-20 or FO-29. Just think AO-7 might be the only LEO bird an SSB QSO can 
take place.
