Hi Rick! I was able to work KC7MG and KB6LTY using my Mobilinkd TNC3, Icom IC-2820H and Arrow antenna.
Had to turn the power to 50W and only got digipeated after the satellite was above 30°.
It's a tough one to work with an HT :-(

All, just had a 70° pass of AiSat-1, so I thought I'd give it a go. I heard the first packet when it was only 3° above the horizon, but no decode. I heard about 10 packets during the 10 minute pass, but none decided. I also set about that many beacons up, but none were receive by the sat.I was using my D72A into an ELK lp.What have the rest of you been using and have you had any success?73Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)Saguaro Astronomy ClubWww.saguaroastro.orgThunderbird Astronomy ClubWww.w7tbc.org _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
