AO-92 L-band recording from FM05 - 2018-02-12 0224 UTC
I heard a good number of people experimenting with the L-band uplink on AO-92 tonight on the 0224 UTC pass. Really wish I could get in on the club ;-)
I heard N8MH, WB8RJY, WB8OTH, AA5PK, N8HM, and KC9ELU.
Here is my recording from a Kenwood TH-D72 with an Arrow. I didn't pick the antenna up off the ground until about 1:07. I had the audio really low in the first 4 minutes too.

John,
To my humble and first opinion (having made only one QSO with ZS2BK) the L-Band mode is as good as the U/V mode, a superb bird and congratulations to the project team.
This part of the world we have
Really amazing, hopefully it will be switched on L-band mode every week so that we may experiment more and it will encourage the community to move of higher/microwave frequencies which is quite challenging for most of us but with so much rewarding experience.
I really encourage you to be in the club, just a transverter needed that you may build yourself or buy off the shelf.

Sorry the mail went out by error my side:
I just wanted to say that:
This part of the world we have nearly no traffic on the birds, sometimes frustrating as no one respond to CQ’s, however is you have a response you have the bird to chat for the whole passage, Hi!
