Last year, I used them\nonly if there was no worthwhile pass on a pass-band transponder bird\navailable. The results at my club, K0GQ, had were that last year we\nmade more satellite contacts than in the previous 4 years combined. We\nmade the most on AO-7, followed by FO-29, ISS (it was in cross-band\nrepeater mode), VO-52, and one contact on SO-50. We made several\nattempts on AO51 but, due to the congestion, it was impossible to make a\nQSO on either channel. \n\nI'll put my money on the pass-band birds anytime.\n\n73 de N8AU, Jim in Raymore, MO, Satellite Captain at K0GQ\n \nLight travels faster than sound...

But Field Day is far from a\nnormal \nday.\n\nOn FD, the FM Sats are swamped with far too many people trying to make a\n\ncontact, and the single channel / FM Capture Effect generally results in\n\nnobody getting anywhere. As has been pointed out, any station is only \nallowed one Satellite contact, but there are so many stations trying for\n\nthat one contact that none succeed. SSB/CW on a linear transponder is\nthe \nbest bet.\n\nVO-52 is likely to be one of the more successful birds, along with FO-29\n(if \nthey can bring it back in time), and maybe AO-51's mode LU on the second\n\ntransponder (FM, but there are few enough stations out there with the\nright \nequipment that it might just work). AO-07 is a crap shoot for mode, and\n\nlikely to suffer from too much uplink traffic for its severely weakened \npower system to handle. Please go easy on the old bird.\n\nSSB/CW can be a bit tricky, especially under the pressure of FD. But, \nthat's what it's all about - operating under less than ideal conditions,\nand \nsucceeding.\n\nSounds like another option may be digital, i.e. digipeating through one\nof \nthe digital birds. Hadn't tried that before...\n\nGreg KO6TH\n\n", "attachments": [] }
