I have not been able to make contact with HO-68 on V/U FM voice. However, I do hear a CW beacon on the 435.7900 MHz downlink. With this new schedule, I am looking forward to trying again. I just want to ensure my settings are correct.
Uplink 145.8250 MHz FM PL 67.0 Hz Downlink 435.6750 MHz FM
I'm using a 5W HT with a homebrew yagi. Is that enough to reach a high orbit sat?

I've made several contacts on FM over HO-68 using an FT-817ND at 5 W with an Arrow dual-band yagi. I've yet to have a QSO over its linear transponder but I'm working on it.
Keep trying. It's a great satellite.
