I just had an 88 degree pass here in FN13 and did not hear anything. Had my vertical on my radio, as it was a high pass, and did not hear a peep. Using the beacon every 2 minutes and no digipeat as well.

How long does NO-44 need to be in sun before it begins to operate normally?
Its probably my weak antenna set-up but its too cold out to play with that end yet!
Thanks,
