Ok, let's just say that pass was pretty crowded! Must have been a hundred people trying to get in. Although I didn't make a successful QSO, I was very excited to hear the bird FULL QUIET just as my LVB Tracker switched from 0 degrees to 1 degree over the horizon! Of the many stations I did hear, I heard 60db over S9 signals. I heard VA7VW, VE6EGN, VE6AB, W5ACM, K7WIN, and WD9EWK, plus a host of XE stations and others towards the end of the pass. I can't wait to get a QSO on this new satellite! Greatest hobby ever!
