Hi Tim,
There was a school contact last night around midnight PST. The downlink site was in Santa Rosa, California, (telebridged over to India) and I had a very clean copy here in CM98 using just a 5/8 wave J-pole up on the roof. The crew probably had the repeater off by that time, in preparation for the contact.
Congrats on the /AG upgrade!

Hi Mike, I heard the ISS loud and clear a couple of night ago, but it was silent for me last night at about 10:30pm PST.

I've tried listening to a few passes (as high as 70 degrees) the last 2 days and heard nothing but silence. I must be doing something wrong. Can the group confirm I am doing this right for the current cross band repeater?
My Xmit is 145.99 tone 67 hz My RX is 437.8
My radios, antennas, preamps, and such are fine as I can still work SO-50, AO-51, and FO-29. What gives?
