Nevermind...when I rolled up power I was just blasting my front end. Did this test again while FO-29 was on the other side of the earth and got the same results so, like I said, nevermind ;>(

So, after dismal results on the FO-29 passes this morning and reading other reports of the bird not being heard, I jumped on the 0409 UTC North American pass this evening to try a few things. I found that I could hear my self whistling but it was very distorted and fairly low audio. I had to turn up to 50W to hear things although at apogee (41 degree) was able to just barely hear a distorted whistle when I was pushing 10W. At apogee and 50W I *might* have been hearing myself do a 1-2 count repeatedly but I'm not sure.whistling definitely was coming through but was distorted and raspy (like a torn speaker)
Anyway, not sure if this info is helpful or not but wanted to report it.
