Try\n> to work in \"Manual\" for a while. Brush up on your tracking skills,\n> both by ear and by signal strength. Understand that not all of us are\n> sitting behind a computer with a fully automated station, antennas to\n> work Neptune, a receiver to hear the moon, and an amplifier to reach\n> Pluto.\n>\n> My intent is not to disparage those who have a nice OSCAR-class\n> station. By all means, enjoy it.\n>\n> I hear frequently in the post-HEO era that \"Doppler is too difficult\n> on LEO's.\" If you need an elmer there are plenty of active operators\n> here on the BB who would be willing to lend a helping hand.\n>\n> Don't forget the acronym KISS and its definition. Sometimes\n> simplicity brings with it a little fun.\n>\n> 73,\n> Clayton\n> W5PFG\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
