I've heard FO-29 with my F6, though kind of barely. You definitely need an external antenna (more than just an extended whip), and another radio for the uplink since the F6 is FM-only on transmit (and it's not full duplex).

Glad to hear that FO29 is back-now to get on it! Has anyone tried using a Kenwood TH-F6A HT to receive FO29, since it does receive SSB? I would be hooking it to an external antenna. Is it sensitive enough on SSB to hear the satellite? The QST review shows its sensitivity is a little down on HF and 6m SSB.
