I see a lot of discussion on here about the difficulty of receiving 
our present low orbit satellites...

Admittedly, I have not tried other than AO7, AO51, VO52 and SO50...

AO51 requires not much more than a "wet noodle" for both up and down 
link, so relate your sig strengths (both up and down) with relation 
to it, and I can help...Also tell me if your problem is up or down...
Can they hear you? or cannot you hear them...

It would sort of give me a guide as to the capabilities of both your 
receive and xmit systems.

There are many factors that relate to the above questions, but let us 
start there.  And many factors that can lead to success...

Tell me the bird you are having difficulties on, and I will try it...

                    Disagree: I learn....
