[amsat-bb] Re: FO-29 and VO-52

[aa2tx@comcast.net]

Hello Jean-Francois, 



I have worked VO-52 with omni antennas and an FT-817 

on SSB with no problem at all. FO-29 should work too as long 

as there are no high-power stations pumping the satellite AGC.

Hi, 

I would like to know if I'm dreaming, but will it be possible for me 
to use these two satellites with my pair of FT-817 running on 
SatPC32?? 

Am I asking too much for my 5W only radios ?? I'm using 2 Eggbeater 
antenna from M²... EB-144 and EB432 with AR² preamps on both antennas 
feed with heliax.
