Re: [amsat-bb] was FO29, now AO7

[Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a related note I worked Aldert, PH7PCF after a few weeks of trying on AO-7 mode B. It was a 1 degree pass here in EL88pg. Distance was calculated at 4587 miles, 7382 km. Pretty exciting stuff. Nothing special for the station here, 10x10 on 2m, 15x15 on 435, mounted 7 feet over the peak of the roof, in a neighborhood with lots of trees in very flat Florida!

I have worked England a few times on FO-29, but FO-20 was the champ for working EU on a LEO. Slightly higher I think.

Still looking to the east for Greenland, D4, ZB2, and north western Africa!

Hi Gang
Terry G1WPR and I are on FO29 most weekdays around 12.30 utc > and work 
it around that time when available .Recent passes have given excellent 
passes into the US and Canada(right across to Alaska)....We invite any 
of you guys over there to join us on the bird
Fo29 is a very under used bird during the daytime apart from DO9OAM /P 
on Tuesdays  and Joe K3SZH (when he puts his coffee cup down :-)!only 
joking!!)

I have noticed on the BB just lately that some folk's are having 
problems using inverting transponders on SSB.........Once you have 
cracked it you will enjoy it Hi!
Look forward to getting you in our log books!
