Ah, the felt good.
Now, George:
On this last pass of HO-68 at 2216 L AOS I heard nothing on ssb,cw or fm. The foot print of Satpc32 showed all US.What am I doing wrong, I have downloaded latest keps. George
As Drew stated, the FM and transponder are not always on all the time, but the CW beacon should always be going. I have no idea about your skill level, so let me suggest basics:
- Are you sure you're on the right frequency?
- Are you compensating for doppler?
- Everything connected correctly?
- Can you hear other sats?
Hope this helps and that's it something simple.
