The last pass of FO-29, at 1803Z, should have been a very productive one as it covered the entire United States. Unfortunately lots of oblivious operators were pounding the transponder with high power SSB and CW signals, causing their 5 watt signal to be extremely weak. I only heard them make a handful of QSOs. They had to move when some moron started firing up the high power CW right on top of them.
