Hi,
The 145.880/435.150 repeater is up and working great. Unfortunately, nobody is using it. I talked to myself for an entire pass, rather like mode L/S. When 145.920/435.300 sounds like Field Day, give the other one a try.

Thanks Alan,
I was contemplating posting a reminder tonight. We've had MANY requests for this mode, so please use it. Myself, I'll be operating /KL7 beginning Saturday and through the 4th of August, and I expect to be on the 145.88/435.150 repeater for stateside windows. This might be a good time to make a schedule with that faraway grid, country or state you need on satellite!

Nada heard on this last pass, even turned the handheld on and could not hear anything back.

Fred,
Good pass this AM, 1152Z, but as last night, no users.
Alan WA4SCA
All,
Looks like all you need to do is prime the pump. The first 2/3rds of the 13:30 UTC pass here in EM65 was about as busy as it could be without crowding. With one exception, everybody I worked was new in the log. Unusual! The last third of the pass dragged, but when I switched over to the other side, it was quiet there as well.
Alan WA4SCA
I will listen at the 23:06 pass today and see if I hear anything...
