[amsat-bb] AO-85

Hello all,

I am having a difficult time getting into AO-85. The equipment I am using is a Kenwood TH-F6A and an Arrow antenna. I have the PL tone set and am adjusting for Doppler on the transmit side. The first 4 passes I have tried have been 50 deg. or more over the horizon with one being 89 and still can't get in. I can hear it very clear on the passes I have tried. Is there anything I am missing? I have successfully made a contact on SO-50 but AO-85 cannot hear me for whatever reason. I am a new ham and very new to satellites. Thanks for you help.
