[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 2nd repeater operational

[Dennis Griffin]

Thanks, Drew. I tried it on a straight overhead pass with my IC-W32  
on high power, thru an Arrow II Satellite handheld antenna, but no  
joy. The squelch did open for a few minutes during the peak of the  
pass, but I was unable to discern any audio.
