Well, it was fun (and sometimes equally frustrating) while it lasted but it didn't last long enough. Had a good overhead pass of FO-29 tonight, but once that thing gets down below 40 degrees pointing toward the U.S. the noise gets to be a real PITA. I had on my best ears and some DSP but still couldn't get enough out of the buzzing and whistling to make a complete contact with but two stations. I hate that! Special thanks to Hector CO6CBF who was always on to let me test my doppler and get a signal report before the bird was AOS over the U.S. So it goes. I guess it will be a year before I get down here again, so I have some time and experience to put to use to see how I can make it better. Thanks to all who called, you made my days, just sorry I couldn't make all of yours.
