I'm sort of excited, sort of disappointed...I believe I FINALLY heard myself on a satellite! I have gotten my 70cm uplink antenna working and I'm pretty sure I could hear myself on VO-52 as it passed high over New England at about 7:15PM 2/17 EST, 00:15 2/18 UTC. But I'm a bit unsure. First, my voice seemed very distorted in the headphones. Of course it is hard to tell when you are talking! Second, I could not get any CW signal bounce. And finally there was NO ONE else that I could hear in the passband.
So I'm just wondering if anyone else was hitting VO-52 about that time, or if anyone might have heard me (W2BFJ). Trying to clarify whether VO-52 is just not very busy or if I was not really hearing it after all!
Thanks,
Burns, W2BFJ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program! Subscription settings: http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/amsat-bb
