I also heard the beacon very well here in FM09 on my d700 with a mag-mount in the car but I didnt hear the carrier or anything on the repeater. Lets hope all is well with our new sat.

Ryan -- I had the same concerns, until I re-read Alan's letter, which said "XW-1 FM and store-forwared transponder will be turn on again between 1205UTC and 1352UTC on Dec. 18." The recent pass over NA was about 14:20UTC. Rats!
Glad to hear you're trying an omni antenna. Was this in a rural or urban area? Did you use a preamp with this?
