Was just trying to work ao 92 on a 77 degree pass over cm87, San Francisco Bay Area. Nothing heard. Called 3 times, midway between the scheduled aos and the closest approach, the closest approach, and midway between the closest approach and los. Kept the power down, and the Doppler adjustments in the uhf side. Just want to be sure I’m not a bad operator. Granted, it’s late local time. Was anyone on? Was I stomping on anyone, or not getting through?
What call were you using?
Are you talking about this pass:

Click the audio tab and listen and you might find out if you were QRMing.
Here is another recording of the same pass but the quality isn't as good:

John, I am still trying to learn and be better at this. So I went to Satnogs for the first time to listen to this pass. Almost all noise. Is Satnogs reliable? 73 W4ITC

There is nothing unreliable about the network itself but many SatNOGs stations use stationary antennas because it is easier to set that up for 24/7 use than a tracking antenna system. Consequently, many recordings from SatNOGs stations are mostly noise. If you find out which stations have tracking systems their recordings are generally better.
