Congratulation on your 5000 qso on AO7 and your smooth fist.
It's great to hear a AMSAT NA LM 1750 from across the pond.

HI
Couple of pass with nobody but a lot of stations out of the passband. Just
hear VE3NPC in the morning pass and a K3 station swishing on the
evening pass and me calling in the void!. The downlink audio is very very low
i have to set the volume near the maximum to be able to hear
something. Don't use automatic doppler for the uplink as you will have to
"clarify" the voice.
It is not a killer mode... but it help to see how your L band apparatus is
working. I don't know why the audio is so low?
Any explanations are welcome
If any one got a recording i will be glad to hear it. I will try to record
something tomorrow morning if i can get up early to start the
wood stove as they forecast a minimum of -2 overnight. Autumn is really on the
21st of september here!!!

Can't hear users very well on AO-51 LU Mode. U band downlink exhibits good
quieting of squelch with some QSB. For downlink I'm using an M2 436CP30
polarized yagi with SSB SP7000 pre-amp. I might have heard a whisper of
somebody
today during a high pass over California. Maybe if I had a polarity switch I
could hear better.

Hi Luc, Ron,
I tried this new & exciting mode this morning.
Since the downlink is on 435.150 I had to change the
70cm antenna from RHCP (fixed) to LCHP. During the
weekend I started that but was not able to finish it.
This morning I connected a coax to one of the dipols
of the Cushcraft 2x8 cross yagi, but most likely
that was done too much in a hurry as I did not hear
anything via that beam. My groundplane antenna did
pick up the downlink, but not noise-free.
With that set-up I could not detect any voice/audio
on the downlink, also not my own signal. I tried both
USB and CW, and used on top of automatic doppler correction
also manual uplink tuning (XIT knob on the TS2000x).
Well, I think I need to continue to get my 70cm RX
in place for both RHCP and LHCP (switchable).
Dom, I8CVS, provided me the diagrams, which are similar
to what I have made for 2 mtrs, so I expect no issues,
apart from running out of time ...
Anyway: after this SSB uplink we have a few days the
FM uplink on 23cm active, another great opportunity !
Looking forward to more reports via this group.

Greetings all
Ive finally decided to sell my KLM cross polarized
2meter antenna - was originally used for OSCAR 13
and also for a school contact to the shuttle
Discovery.
This was garage kept and only brought out for
operating - aluminum is clean - one of the black
plastic insulators for holding a driven element is
cracked. $90 pick up in Grayslake, IL.
thanks
Mike

I worked VE3NPC this AM with good signals both ways and heard VE2DWE in the
noise occasionally. Tuning is quite fast, and was done by hand here, mainly
because I did not have the proper modes and frequencies loaded in SatPC32.
The audio could be brought up some, and we'll look into that. Plenty of
radar pulses this morning too.

Hello all,
Has SEEDs gone dead? I have not heard it in 3 days or so now and normally it
is very strong here. I know my antennas are still good because I still here
AO-51, SO-50 and other birds fine.
The Keps I use are:

Not much to report, but I did swap a brief e-mail with one of the command
ops for AO-27. They are working on getting the satellite back up, and will
post any updates on www.ao27.org.
