I thought I read we were supposed to experience degraded performance from AO-51 since last week's re-orientation of the bird.
I just worked the 5:04PM Pacific Standard Time / 01:04 GMT pass from DM03. Worked three countries along the West Coast, in addition to working Texas to the East. Elaborate station equipment involved ...
-handheld radio at 2.0W -handheld dual-band Yagi
Performance seems just fine out here, folks!
