Between 2200 and 0600 eastern, SO-50 is usually dead\nand I find myself talking to myself H-I.\n\nIf you'd like to make another attempt I'd be willing to work a schedule with\nyou to test your gear and ability to work the bird.\n\nThough I'd find it hard to believe it's your antenna... Truth be told I work\nthe birds on one of two antenna's depending where I am at that particular\npassing. If I'm at work I'll work birds over 40 degrees on my mobile rig\nwith my dual band vertical mag mount. It works and watching my tracking\nsoftware on my iPhone I'm able to tell when the bird passes into my blind\nspots as it passes. If I'm at home I use nothing more than a 2 meter 3\nelement beam and an HT in my back yard. SWR are low on 144 and 440 bands,\nthough my reception could be better I'm sure. However; to this date it's\nworked. I've successfully worked AO-51, SO-50, ISS, and HO-68 (Hope-1) with\nthe set ups above with no more than 5 watts (I don't believe in using big\nguns, conserve resources!).\n\nAs Rick said, FN42 and MA would be a new grid and state for me as well.\n\n73\nJeremy\nKB3DLP / FM19 York, Pennsylvania\n\nPS: I too have read what AMSAT shows for the frequency shifting, however I\nhaven't experienced it yet myself, I still tune on the coordinated\nfrequencies without issue.\n\nOn Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 12:48 AM, Chris Danis <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Was anyone working SO-50 during its pass over FN42 at 12:25a Eastern /\n> 05:25\n> UTC?\n>\n> I just finished constructing a WA5VJB yagi just a few hours ago.
