Hi Ed,
Were you in SSB or FM mode? I was on the earlier pass (20:00z) today, and at least for that pass the bird was in SSB/CW mode. Had my first contact on HO-68, a nice chat with Kerry, WC7V, in Montana. It was quite loud, like S5 when most birds barely move the needle. Really easy to copy. Great job, CAMSAT!

Listened to orbit #721 (per NOVA) (23:23-23:40 for my location) and did not hear any activity nor my 145.825 (67Hz) uplink. I heard the CW beacon on the previous pass, but not this time, though it was well pass TCA when I looked for it.
Just wondering if it was my station or was the transponder off? According to the new sked by Alan Kung, 07 Feb. 2300-2345 it was to be on.
I am just finding out what my capabilities are with the new antennas, so...
