Hi Greg-
Too bad about the lonely pass. I haven't done a lot of research since I (recently) got back into working the birds, but from what I remember in the AO-40 days, my biggest problem working the microwave modes was finding equipment. I remember Down East made microwave gear but they were moving offices for what seemed like forever, and now it appears they're swamped with backlog and aren't able to fill new orders.
My question is, what L/S gear do you use, and where does one find microwave gear these days?

Hi Luc,
Well, I guess the other parts of this planet are a bit more active than out here on the coast... Really nice 50+ degree pass this evening, and again I was all alone on LS.

P.S. Remember, AO-51 is in mode J-FM on the 'QRP' side (435.15/145.88) this week.
Also remember the main side is in LS. I had the whole bird to myself again tonight...

Not quite VE3NPC,KD8CAO,WB8OTH,KC9ELU, and myself are there too when they are able to find the right uplink on L... But if i can succeed to have the uplink controlled by a PC L/S will be a greath mode +- path obstruction (Just hope they will put the sat in this mode again this winter)
BTW I don't know the extent of L/S mode operation in europe and in the rest of the world?
