Hi all,
I yet have to work someone other than N4UFO on mode A, usually when the bird gets flipped there are no-one on mode A. Therefore I don't always setup for mode A.
I usually work trunk mobile.

I just played with it some when the Mode "A" was predictable a few months ago. And from what I remember in like 1976 it seemed a LOT stronger back then. Nothing special a 10 meter dipole and Drake TR-4 for the receiver back then.
I was able to pick up yesterday's pass at about 2:15pm CDT driving south along I-35 in central OK. This was a Mode A pass, as I could distinctively hear the FM-ing of CW signals around 29.450, but I was not able to pick out the telemetry beacon at 29.502. My code skills are rusty, so I didn't catch the station's call.
Rig is IC-706MKIIG with AH-4 matching a 98" whip mounted on the back hitch. Preamp was on.
