Re: [amsat-bb] ECHO reception

[Patrick Green <pagreen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pat,

Is AO-51 the only one that gives you this problem?  I can work AO-51
and AO-27 to about 2 and some degrees with my Arrow and a Kenwood
TH-D7A.  SO-50 because it runs 250mw, I can only hear it to about 8
degrees.  Plus SO-50 has unfavorable AOS and LOS azimuth compared to
the sunsync sats.
