I did get in yesterday with 5 watts and have had QSOs using the HT many times. It seemed different today when I didn't hear any QSOs and only 2 people even getting into the satellite. I guess it's getting hard of hearing.

It's often hard to get into with only 5 watts.

What happened to PO-101 today? On the most recent pass (a few minutes ago) over EM79, I heard only 2 calls and no actual QSOs. I couldn't get in with my HT.
