[amsat-bb] AO-51 Pass at 10:30 UTC

[Kevin Deane]

I swear I just heard some strange talking on the bird and something that sounded like a submarine pinging underwater. I thought I had Hunt for Red October on the boob tube or somethin. I heard myself on the downlink clear as day, really strong signal. I double checked my freqs and well there is no mistaking hearing yourself talk on the downlink of a satellite.
 
Usually somebody is on these passes, but I got no response from several calls. Anyone ever experience anything like this? No I was not drinking or on anything.
