It seems that most of the time when there is a pass in my area from FO-29, there are no users on the bird. FO-29 is an excellent & loud satellite, and it requires very little output power.
I just spent 10 minutes or so calling cq, and listening up and down the passband, and there is no one around. It gets boring listening to myself on the downlink! This is generally the case, no matter the time of day or night.
Please, those of you who have the equipment - FO-29 is alive and well, let's use it!
