Hi Sebastian, I have had similar experiences over the past few days here in Wales ( UK) during the higher daylight passes which now transpire. I was really surprised how strong my downlink was and I only use an "ELK" antenna ( with tracking ) software. No replies to my calls but I did hear others keying / tuning on to my operating frequency. Strange though as I also know of reports from others whom had no response. Perhaps with the rapid changes that have transpired one has to just be lucky with conditions being concident. Will also keep on trying - Good Luck to all and pleased to see that at least the transponder has benn functional. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat -UK Amsat NA
