[AMSAT-BB] Apologies for the SO-50 pass this afternoon

Dear Folks:

I tried to work the SO-50 pass today, and indeed, I could hear myself on the downlink for quite a while, but couldn't hear anything else. I have already received 3 emails from different people who said I was heard by them and many people were calling me without getting a response. I apologize since I'll bet I screwed up that pass for a bunch of people.

I'm not sure what happened. I am using a new IC 9700 (after 27 years with an FT-736R) and there certainly is a learning curve on the 9700). However, I've already worked people on SO-50 with the new rig so I'm not sure what happened on that pass, especially since I could hear myself.

Again, my apologies.
