I hadn't planned on working any\nsatellite passes since I was a portable station and not participating\nin Field Day, but I stopped to listen to two AO-27 passes in the\nafternoon.\n\nThe first pass, I was facing the west side of the mountains.\nAmazingly, I heard 4 stations trying to get into AO-27 on the uplink.\nI was hearing them direct on 145.85. The funny thing is, not one of\nthem ever was picked up by AO-27. Secondly, 2 of the 4 stations kept\ngiving their callsign over and over from AOS to LOS, even with AO-27\nbeing on a seven minute timer. This tells me a couple of things: 1.\nThey don't know how AO-27 operates and 2. They apparently weren't\nlistening to the bird. I tried calling two of the strongest stations\non 145.85 after the pass, thinking they might be listening. Nope. I\nnever heard a response. Makes me wonder how many people leave the\nvolume up on the uplink side of their setup (if running full duplex.)\n\nThe second pass, I was pleased to hear several \"5 land\" stations\nmaking contacts through the madness. However, I heard several\ndifferent stations on the uplink. This time it was the usual variety\nof \"hello hello hello\" and \"test 1 2 3.\" Again, I was hearing this\ntrash all on the uplink 145.85... The sad part is, I never heard a\ncallsign. It sounded like 2-3 different stations trying than on the\nfirst pass.\n\nI realize the satellite hears a lot more crap than I could ever hear\nat 3200 feet, but it was a very interesting perspective I've not\nencountered before. I have been in areas when other stations (local)\nwere on the birds, but this is different -- one of the stations I\nheard on the uplink was 200+ miles away.\n\n73\nClayton\nW5PFG\n", "attachments": [] }
