Hi folks, nothing again. My passes were not very good though so maybe on the 84 degree pass friday I may catch something. I am using a pk 96 with a yaesu ft 8100 and mixw/pacterm 99. I have a 18 element klm for the 435.225 downlink with right or left hand pole. Using left hand for go-32 like before (energized) Tracking with satscape/jtrack/ and heavens above. I use to be able to bring it in everyday almost and we also had a satgate running from a Canada Station VE3KPG using go-32 for msg traffic hooked to our terristal packet network. Sure hope someday another sat will take its place and run for us. The ACP that they are building on the next sat seems way out of most of everyones price pocket. So I hope they don't decide to do that. We want to be able to use the gear we allready have. (that cost us a arm and leg allready). Anyway will keep trying to reach go-32. (the only one out there working, in reach I think) '

hmm, I had an ok pass today around 9pm my time EDT. I am using a d700 with a 19.5" whip (1/8" brass rod stuck into a pl238 connection) mounted on my truck, using the call K3PDK-15
