    "content": "Hi John!\n\n> AO-51 is in high power mode J-FM this morning.

After a week of V/S, SO-50's passes\nfor North America coming early in the mornings or now starting to come by\nat a decent evening hour, I think everyone was ready for AO-51 to be back\non V/U - high power or not.  High power always seems to draw a bigger\ncrowd.\n\n> While 'standing on the soapbox', i'd say that i'd like to encourge folks to\n> use the high power mode to let stations who have trouble hearing SO-50 or\n> AO-51 to work satellites and get started.  I would hope that folks who use\n> mode J-FM on a regular basis would use coastal/oceanic passes, or SO-50, to\n> say hello to their friends and/or talk at length about the weather.  Alas,\n> it is these conditions that discourage me from making my nantenna design\n> widely available, as things are like this only discourage and frustrate\n> new users, and easier access to mode J-FM might only make this worse.\n\nEven the west-coast pass around 1648 UTC this morning was crowded.\nAgain, probably the masses waiting for V/U to reappear on AO-51, plus\nsome newbies hoping for the high-power mode to make receiving the\ndownlink a little easier.\n\nI was up a little early today (a holiday), and Tim K4SHF asked me if I could\nbe on the earlier pass around 1510 UTC.  We have been exchanging e-mails\nabout satellite-related stuff for the past couple of months, but we have not\nhad an opportunity to make a QSO.  That pass was was a low one here, with\nmaximum elevation of 13 degrees, but I made that QSO with him (thanks\nTim!).  I made a few other QSOs, including a couple where the other\nstations called me.  The crowd was definitely larger than normal for a pass\nlike that.\n\n> On the other hand, SO-50 has definitely seen more usage and interesting\n> stations do pop up over the 'States, especially on transcontinental passes.\n> So especially this week, give SO-50 a try, and try to show some restraint on\n> AO-51 so new folks can take advantage of high power mode.\n\nThe SO-50 morning passes are too early for me right now, but the passes in\nthe evenings are just about the same as AO-51 for North America.  I might\ntry that tonight, just to be different.... :-)\n\n> P.S.  I had mail to AMSAT-BB bounce this weekend, but retrying ten minutes\n> later succeeded.  You might try the same thing if your mail gets returned.\n\nI had that happen a couple of times, not on everything I sent, but as you\nsaid it worked OK when I resent the message to the list a few minutes\nlater.  Just weird...\n\n73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK - Phoenix, Arizona USA\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
