I worked two passes, one on FO-29, the other AO-73. I was trying to work stations that appeared to me, to be looking for their only contact. I made 2 contacts. I just looked at my notes, I had over 15 calls written down, another words I heard them but they weren't hearing me. My guess is that all of them couldn't find or hear me on their downlink. The one regular sat user I did work was Paul, on the first call. A usual FD on the sats :-)

How did everyone's Field Day go? Heard quite a bit of QSOs made. Heard quite a bit of struggling too!
Weather was awful, so I was just operating from the grounds of my apartment building here in DC. I managed 20 QSOs with 5 watts, which wasn't easy with how overloaded the transponders were with strong signals.
Next year maybe I'll help out a local club on the sats.
