Dear Folks:
Today, neither AO-91 nor RS-44 seemed to be functioning. To be fair, I could barely hear my CW transmission on RS-44, so I suppose its transponder is functioning, albeit not well. I can understand AO-91 going out due to its battery issues, but RS-44 on the same day? Is it possible that the problem is with my setup?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

RS-44 fades out at times when you're in an antenna null, where other stations seem to be doing well, then things switch and they're in a null, and you receive yourself just fine.
What's sad it there are a number of linear sats not functioning or working well: FO-29, not active, FO-118 not active, CAS-4A not active, and XW-2C has issues cutting out it's downlink.
