Hi all,
Am trying to figure out this Falconsat-3 digipeating thing and have ben on several passes this Saturday morning with only N1RCN heard early. I would like to give this a try on Sunday morning in what would be for me, a 1125Z high elevation pass. I think I kind of now know how to reply to calls, if my Kenwood is set up with the phrases that Patrick Stoddard suggested, but am not sure how you throw out a general call. I have beaconed but never saw my call sign come back from the satellite. Should I see my call come back if I hit it? Is this really APRS beconing or standard Packet that we are supposed to be doing here?
`This is definitely not an EASYSAT but I like the challenge.
