One thing I learned about this cool bird is you cant always just lurk and listen only. Because if no one is transmitting on 10 meters a PSK signal, the 70 cm transmitter stays shut down and you won't hear anything.
To hear anything on this bird someone must be transmitting a PSK signal on 10

2046 UTC, the bird went directly overhead. I was in listen-only mode. All I saw was (for the first 5 minutes of the pass) a series of lines which showed Doppler, almost like a yard rake was dragging at an angle across the screen.
What SHOULD I see?
