John:
Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't realized that EO88 is functional only at night. I wonder why that is?
Also, I haven't listened for AO-92 in a while, so I'll have to check it out again.

JO97 does have a great downlink signal. THanks for the recommendation Bernie. XW-2A seems to be functioning properly also, without turning off every few seconds. If you are on after dark EO88 is another nice Mode B satellite with a great downlink signal. It only functions while in darkness, though.
AO92 had a nice pass this morning, but it was only myself and KB9STR on it. It is alive and well! Come and check it out also!

Dear Folks: Now that it appears that the XW birds are turning off (for whatever reason), I was looking around this morning for another linear satellite to utilize and found JO-97. I worked a couple of stations on this morning's pass, one of whom happened to mention that there's not much activity on JO-97. So I wanted to post on here that I worked it this morning, and despite some kind of data signal (or some kind of QRM) in the lower part of the passband, the signals were quite good. It looked to me like JO-97 is a good resource for all of us. Hope to see some of you on there. 73 de Bernie, KF0QS ----------------------------------------------------------- Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org <http://amsat.org>.
