you will have no luck if not a controlstation has activated the transponder
of SO-50. Please know that the transponder is normally not active but has
to be activated. You should ask Don Woodward, KD4APP (dbwoodw@alltel.net)
if there is a controlstation in your area and/or if one of you may become a
controlstation.
