Hi Alan and Everyone on the list,
I have not been able to make contact with HO-68 on V/U FM voice. However, I do hear a CW beacon on the 435.7900 MHz downlink. With this new schedule, I am looking forward to trying again. I just want to ensure my settings are correct.
Uplink 145.8250 MHz FM PL 67.0 Hz Downlink 435.6750 MHz FM
I'm using a 5W HT with a homebrew yagi. Is that enough to reach a high orbit sat?

I've made several contacts on FM over HO-68 using an FT-817ND at 5 W with an Arrow dual-band yagi. I've yet to have a QSO over its linear transponder but I'm working on it.
Keep trying. It's a great satellite.

Those settings look correct to me. I made my first sat contact on HO-68 using just a Yaesu VX-7R ht and an Arrow II handheld yagi. So long as you're homebrew antenna was constructed correctly, you're aiming for a realistic max elevation (I usually aim for 30 degrees or higher), you're tuning your downlink to compensate for the Doppler, and the sat is turned On during the pass you should be able to establish a QSO. My biggest problem with HO-68 is the scheduling. For me the sat is usually turned off during the good passes I can use. If I'm lucky I may get 1 good pass with it turned on a week.

I just tried FM and SSB, heard no one and did not hear myself. Did anyone else successfully work HO-68 on this pass?
