I also suspect I can lower that elevation some by working CW instead of SSB, and I intend to find out on the next really high pass over me.\n\nThis is an interesting experiment. It is worth pointing out to those\nwho might not be familiar with this bird that 50 degrees as a minimum\nelevation on AO-7 is much more practical than for lower elevation\nbirds, such as AO-51. I suspect the time that AO-7 is above 50\ndegrees on some passes is about the same amount of time that VO-52 is\nabove the horizon! Moreover, because of the greater footprint, when\nyou transmit to AO-7 overhead, you might still reach a different\ncontinent or other excitingly distant stations.\n\nAnother consideration regarding Tim's experimental approach is that it\nis ideal for situations in which a low-gain antenna is being used for\nreception. It is better for everyone if in these circumstances we do\nnot increase our transmission power until we can hear ourselves\n(especially on AO-7, which FMs quite a bit). Keeping the xmit power\nlow and waiting until it can be heard is a good way to experiment\nwithout causing problems.\n\n73, Bruce\nVE9QRP\n\n", "attachments": [] }
