A cooperative effort from everyone would be needed to maximize the QSOs. If everyone has their power cranked to 11 and they keep calling, you'll never hear the 5 watt signal of K1N when they attempt to respond to someone.
That's probably too much to ask though. Maybe the only way to do a satellite DXpedition in an entity as rare as this is to have everyone register their interest, then assign skeds and have the DXpedition operator call through the list pre-prepared for each pass.

Heard K1N calling in the 435.823 area but there were several calling on his frequency so very hard to hear any replies. He called a few times but too many callers on or close to his transmit frequency. This was on the FO-29 pass around 2200z.

Quoting Andrew Glasbrenner glasbrenner@mindspring.com:
K1N has sent word they will attempt to be on satellite today. That's all the info I have.
Listen for them 435.820 +/- Doppler on FO-29, and remember they are half-duplex.
Good Luck.
