Hello Kent,
Welcome to the satellites.
AO-51 was in L/US mode for the last couple of days. Please check the schedule for AO-51 at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/CTNews.php
There is a link on the front page of the AMSAT site (top right) under Quick Access to Project Pages for AO-51. This takes you to the main AO-51 page. Select the link under the latest news to get there. There is a grid and and a text page, we are in the process of changing the link to the text page rather than the grid page. The grid doesn't support the current dual downlink mode.
The transmit power for AO-51 will increase on Friday to 1W so it will be easier to hear tomorrow (UTC).
