Thanks Drew et al.
No one else on but me, or at least I was all I could hear, on the 0100Z pass, running about 60W to a 24 loop yagi. Question-- What is the power of the 1.2ghz downlink? The signal strength is at least 3 S units less that the 435.3 frequency. Anyone with 1.2ghz stuff---dust it off.

450mw on .150, and 650mw on .300 right now. My guess is your receive antenna is RHCP. 435.150 feeds the LHCP antenna combination, so you are ~20 db down from the .300 downlink on a RHCP antenna.
