At much higher angles, I can follow it from nearly directly overhead to SSW.\n\nIn the past, I could tell when AO-51 was within view because the background noise would drop significantly. Since I'm operating a portable station, I use that to track it. Lately, it hasn't been as easy.\n\n> I actually had the bird all to myself a few\n> weeks ago, while everyone \n> from the USA already had LOS, and I had almost\n> full-quieting for many \n> minutes in a row that time, until my LOS.

I've been to each one since I got my callsign 5 years ago and I'm sure that this one had the most people. I was looking for a manual HF + 6 m tuner but couldn't fine one, but there were lots of other items that I bought that I could use.\n\nIt was a good opportunity to meet hams in person that I'd spoken to by radio, including some from local nets. It was certainly a good way to spend two hours.\n\n\n __________________________________________________________________\nConnect with friends from any web browser - no download required.
