I've used it with great success on AO-27, SO-50\nand AO-51, and (just last night) on the voice repeater on\nthe ISS. Browse back through my blog at http://brainwagon.org\nfor some recordings that I've done off the air, using the TH-D7A,\nan Arrow antenna, and a little sony voice recorder.

I'd recommend that people who operate half duplex\nbe especially careful about being polite on the FM birds\nthough: you can easily double an existing QSO.\n\n> Clint Bradford, K6LCS / KAF3359\n> 909-241-7666\n>\n>\n>\n> On Feb 1, 2008, at 1:10 AM, [email protected] wrote:\n>\n>   \n>>  I would like to know which handheld do you use or which\n>> handheld is \"the best\" for sats.
