    "content": "Today weather and winds were favorable (seriously, it was T-shirt weather in January) so I set up camp along a suburban road\nwith wide sky coverage, put up my Arrow antenna with homebrew tripod mount, and put in a full schedule of SSB sat passes\ninterspersed with the domestic JA New Year's QSO Party on 2m.\n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/cJcu6PY.jpg\n\nI am a complete newbie at SSB birds so you'll have to bear with my abject failure at making any QSOs through any of them so far. Dealing with trying to find my own downlink signal *and* continually adjusting the antenna has proven a handful. But I'm making\nbaby steps and am still confident that I'll eventually figure this all out.\n\n1. AO-73 (https://soundcloud.com/minus2c/ao-73-pass-jan-3n-2016-0954jst)\nThe good: I successfully heard the telemetry beacon at S9 signal strength, immediately upon AOS. This told me I was doing\nsomething right. Also, at 4:50 in the above recording, I heard my own downlink signal at long last, although it was a fleeting\nmoment of triumph. I suppose I should have taken note of what both frequencies were.\nThe bad: No QSOs. Also the FUNCube Dashboard doesn't seem to want to run on Wine, so I couldn't actually decode the telemetry,\nonly listen to it howl at me.\n\n2. AO-7, mode B (https://soundcloud.com/minus2c/ao-7-pass-jan-3-2016-1410-jst)\nThe good: Hey, it's AO-7 mode B on a day I'm actually listening! I heard plenty of CW traffic, as well as station UA9UIZ in\neastern Russia calling CQ.\nThe bad: I'm not allowed to tx to AO-7 in mode B. The JA band plan doesn't permit transmitting on 432MHz to satellites. I have\nto wait until it's in mode A, and then I need to be able to listen on 10 meters. (Ignore for a moment the fact that you hear\nJS3QBP calling on CW, I think he shouldn't be.)\n\n3. FO-29 (https://soundcloud.com/minus2c/fo-29-pass-jan-3-2016-1440-jst)\nThe good: Well I heard UA9UIZ calling CQ again.\nThe bad: Pretty much everything else. I heard nary a single peep of my own signal. I'm seriously wondering whether this old\nIC-706 is having problems transmitting LSB, because this is my fourth attempt at this bird by now and I haven't been able to get into it no matter how many times I tune up, down, and sideways while saying OOOOOOOOOOOOO into the mic. Sigh.\n\nAnd then the day was over. Christmas over. Vacation over. Back to work on Monday. I'll try again next weekend.\n\n73\nJ. Boyd JR2TTS\n\n\n-- \nJ.
