I could hear him well on SSB today (Wed) in spite of a lot of\nactivity on the bird. So his power is adequate, in my opinion, on a clear\nfreq.\n\n2. He announced that he was listening at 435.820 which was about 10\nKHz down from his uplink frequency.\n\n3. That means that if we transmit where we hear ourselves (his\ntransmit frequency) we'll never work him.\n\n \n\nI'd suggest the following which would give us all a chance:\n\n \n\n1. Listen for him in the lower 50 KHz of the passband.\n\n2. When you hear him, listen to his instructions. He'll either say\nlistening up, down or give a frequency (on his radio).\n\n3. Leave your receiver on his frequency so you can hear him, and then\nmove your transmit freq. to approximately where he says. For FO-29 you move\nthe transmitter UP 10 kHz to show up DOWN 10 KHz on his dial. Don't worry\nabout being exactly on his listening frequency. He's going to be tuning\naround to pick out calls. It's better if we spread out and let him find us.\nFigure out how to do this on your rig before the pass starts.\n\n4. Call him even though you don't hear yourself. That feels weird,\nbut it will work.\n\n5. Remember, if you hear him and call over him, then he for sure won't\nhear you and NO ONE ELSE will hear him either.\n\n6. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING HIS GRID SQUARE.you can look it up on a\nmap later!\n\n7. When he gets your call correct, give him a 'QSL 59, thank you', and\ngive the next guy a chance.\n\n \n\nIf we can stay off his transmit frequency, spread out in the general area\nwhere he is listening, and keep the calls really short, then he can easily\nwork 20-30 of us in one pass. These guys are not used to satellite\noperations, but they are great ops and very bright guys. There is still\ntime for all of us to get in their log if we turn off our computer frequency\ntracking and follow the operators instructions.\n\n \n\nRemember - Don't call on his frequency! Go where he tells you.\n\n \n\nGood luck!\n\n \n\n73\n\n \n\nGrant Zehr AA9LC\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n", "attachments": [] }
