I end up calling CQ just about every evening and all weekend by my lonely self or maybe with Paul or Clayton to Keep me company.A lot of folks avoid AO-73 because it's not as easy as some other birds until you figure it out.Once you figure it out,it will become of your favorite birds .Yes it does have a frequency drift problem, but it really performs ! I find the uplink about + 15 kHz at AOS And about +18 KHZ at LOS from published.I use satpc32 And keep my cat box open to click about 300-400 hz per minute on the uplink to stay right on ! Try it ,you'll like it ! Jeff WB8RJY
