    "content": "Hi Pat (N2OEQ - there are a bunch of Pats in this thread now)!\n\n> Hi gould- thanks for information. Hopefully the command team will manage\n> to eeck out a little more power. I'm not just thinking of myself. As I\n> recall, one of the purposes of echo was to attract new people ( myself\n> included ) with an easy to operate satellite. After 2 years, I now use an\n> 8 element beam and preamp to hear echo. Take care, pat\n\nI've read your posts on other threads about the problems you seem to have\nin hearing AO-51.  Have you tried other combinations of radio, antenna, coax,\npreamp or no preamp, etc. to see if you are able to either duplicate your\ncurrent situation or possibly have better luck in hearing it?\n\nMost of the time, I use an HT with a handheld Yagi.  I have also used an HT\nwith a long telescoping whip or long duckie, and have been able to work the\ncurrent crop of FM satellites (AO-51, SO-50, and - when operational - AO-27)\nwith success.  I have operated from several locations around Phoenix, one\nsite in eastern Arizona, and several locations in/around Dayton since I started\nwith AO-51.  I've never used a preamp when working these satellites.  If\nsomething isn't working with your current setup, and others are reporting\nsuccess with similar setups (or simpler/less-sophisticated setups), maybe\nsome troubleshooting is in order for your station.\n\nAs for running more power, my thought is that if AO-51 was running noticeably\nmore power than the other FM satellites, it might be a deceptive thing to a new\nsatellite ham trying to get started.  If anything, the normal AO-51\nconfiguration\nis a good way to get started.  If you can get on AO-51, you can get on AO-27\nwhen it's available, and should be able to get on SO-50 even with its lower\nTX power.  I like the high-power times on AO-51, as I get to try other antenna\nand radio combinations to see how small I can go and still hear and work the\nsatellite, but I think the normal setup isn't bad either.  And, based on my logs\nover the past few months, I actually seem to make fewer QSOs on AO-51\nwhen it's in high-power mode compared to the normal configuration.\n\nI have worked lots of new stations on AO-51, mostly when the satellite is *not*\non high power.  Just like I was a newbie last December, trying AO-51 for the\nfirst time while it was in the normal configuration.  And I'm\noperating most of the\ntime near the downtown area of a large US city, with lots of RF around, and I\ncan sometimes hear these satellites down to about 4-5 degrees elevation with\nmy HT/Yagi setup without a preamp and when the satellites running no more\nthan 400-500mW from their transmitters.\n\nBack to work... and looking forward to some V/S passes before the next mode\nchange over the weekend.  73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Phoenix, Arizona USA\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
