If you have read my 'road trip' \nposts, then you would know that i do have alot of experience in mode \nJ-FM.  We have occasional problem with people calling CQ who can't\nhear the satellite and there is some unnecessary QRM from people who\ncan't hear their own downlink (e.g. are not operating full-duplex).\nBut it is quite workable much of the time, especially on weekdays. \nMy biggest frustration out here is when alot of the satellite time\nis taken up with the 'regulars' saying hello to the same people, \nweek after week.\n\nWeekends, particularly on AO-51 and often on AO-27, can get pretty\nchaotic.  My experience on my trip from California to Colorado/New\nMexico was that it seemed to get somewhat worse as i went east.  So \ni would say it has to do with the population density in the footprint\nof the satellite.  Yet on the quieter passes on that trip, several\ntimes i sent a quick message home third-party via satellite where i\nwould be camping for the night when there was no cell phone coverage\nor pay phones available.  Amateur radio works when nothing else will.\n\nBefore i say alot more on why i think there might be such a difference\nbetween operating in the United States and in western Europe, i need\nto transcribe my satellite passes when i visited Paris last year.  I've\nprocrastinated doing this simply because i don't think i had more than\none or two QSOs worthy of a QSL card out of 7 passes attempted while i\nwas over there this time.  I did do better in 2005 with two successful\nQSOs in 4 passes from southern France.\n\nIn North America, Mode J-FM is quite workable if what you are looking for\nis a QSL card.  It is also good for amateur satellite demonstrations, as\nalmost always, there will be someone to talk to.  Please use a linear\ntransponder if you want to have an extended QSO when a satellite covers \nwell-populated areas.  While Mode J-FM can be very frustrating at times, \nif you're looking for VUCC or Worked All States on satellite, clearly it\nis the best way to go in North America.  \n\n\t\t\t\t   -- KD6PAG\n\nP.S.  Except on SO-50 when i'm on the road, all contacts referenced above\nwere made at 1W or less.  So power is not necessarily a factor.\n\nP.P.S.  Addendum to my Portland trip report, W6ASL received 17 grid squares \nout of 19 activated.  Good work, Jim.\n",
