Thanks, Drew. I tried it on a straight overhead pass with my IC-W32 on high power, thru an Arrow II Satellite handheld antenna, but no joy. The squelch did open for a few minutes during the peak of the pass, but I was unable to discern any audio.

MacDoppler Pro has the tx as 145.860. Can you confirm which it is? A good pass coming up here in my area.

Just a reminder that the 2nd repeater is active on AO-51, 145.880 uplink and 435.150 downlink. It is not restricted to QRP this time, but we do ask that only FM voice be used. Those that have been reluctant to use the FM satellites should give it a try, there is no contention. Last night on the first east coast pass, there were only 3 stations the entire pass.
