Best I can tell, both NO-44 and NO-45 are in the dark mode for the west
coast until the 20th of this month.

I have been trying to hear NO-45 for a couple of weeks now.  Just starting
to branch out from doing the FM birds, so I am using groundplane antennas.
I have tried even the high passes at 70 degrees to my location but I am not
hearing the bird in the evenings which is usually the time I can sit down
and work the sats.  I tried the good pass tonight without success.  Even a
ARR UHF preamp that helps with AO-27 and the other FM birds has yielded no
joy here.

For those who are hearing it, what kind of antennas and equipment are you
using ?  Didnt think it would be this hard.

Thanks,

Ron
