I will keep trying. I really need to get another Radio to work it full duplex so I guess I can get something with a little more power for transmit. Really strange since I just work SO-50 this morning at a 17 degree pass but cannot work AO-85 at a 89 degree pass. BTW my I just got my vanity call this morning. I am now W6ZAR.

Hello all,
I am having a difficult time getting into AO-85. The equipment I am using is a Kenwood TH-F6A and an Arrow antenna. I have the PL tone set and am 's
adjusting for Doppler on the transmit side. The first 4 passes I have
tried
have been 50 deg. or more over the horizon with one being 89 and still can't get in. I can hear it very clear on the passes I have tried. Is
there
anything I am missing? I have successfully made a contact on SO-50 but AO-85 cannot hear me for whatever reason. I am a new ham and very new to satellites. Thanks for you help.
