Hi,
Over my location it's quiet most of the time, despite I can hear it. It had two passes today at a good angle. On one of them I aimed at it the same setup I have for SO-50 and LilacSat-2 but no luck. On the second one I used the omni and 50W when at a lower angle, still no luck. Applied possible frequency corrections based on reports from around the world, between 435.160 to 435.185. Zip, nothing. Guess we still didn't get to know it well around here.

I think an award might be a good idea Paul, It's certainly a quiet satellite when its over Europe, I've called via it a number of times and never managed to actually work someone :-(

Bob,
It is a shame it's not more popular. I have listened to the downlink and it's a good signal. My apartment QTH makes it very difficult to set up to use it, but most hams with a full home satellite station should be able to use it very easily.
Maybe an award for working several different stations on it would help increase the popularity?

I too have noticed some serious SAT-HOGs having a QSO, which prevented me from making an HT-ARROW portable OP contact.
Take a break from the congestion.... come to the wide open multi-user wideband transponder on PSAT-1. Downlink is good on a handheld arrow on 435.350 MHz FM. It should be able to support dozens of simultaneous full duplex QSO's in the PSK31 waterfall.
Just pick an empty spot and key your TX solid for the full 8 minutes of
the
pass on your 10 meter PSK31 uplink 28.121 MHz..
To run fullduplex, just run two copies of your favorite PSK31 software.
One
receiving the FM downlink and the other transmitting on the SSB uplink.
Even
better is to run Andy K0SM's TX-only uplink client that pre-adjusts for Doppler so everyone can decode you with no adjustments.
Text with everyone all at once.
