I have no complaints \nabout the reception of AO-51. I hear it loud and clear and I have had \nlong distance contacts, all the way to the west coast, Guadeloupe, \nVenezuela and yet unconfirmed ones to Mexico and Guatemala and many \nshorter distance ones. To me this may suggest that the problem is not in \nthe downlink power from Echo but somewhere on your side.\n\nIf anything, I found out lately that I now can work lower passes than I \never was able to. This seems to match the date when I started working \nthe Kenwood TH-D7AG which I believe is more sensitive on Rx than the \nYaesu VX-7 that I used before. I've worked passes at 7 degrees now \nwhereas before 12 degrees was the best I could do from not from my QTH, \nbut hoofing it as high as I could uphill. Canopy is still up so that is \nnot a factor yet.\n\nAnd I do live in the country so I may be lucky there according to Pat's \npost.\n\n\n\nMcGrane wrote:\n> greetings\n>\n> I would like to report very poor reception of echo even with an 8 element\n> yagi and an 18 Db preamp.
