I'm sort of excited, sort of disappointed...I believe I FINALLY heard
myself on a satellite! I have gotten my 70cm uplink antenna working and
I'm pretty sure I could hear myself on VO-52 as it passed high over New
England at about 7:15PM 2/17 EST, 00:15 2/18 UTC. But I'm a bit unsure.
First, my voice seemed very distorted in the headphones. Of course it is
hard to tell when you are talking! Second, I could not get any CW signal
bounce. And finally there was NO ONE else that I could hear in the
passband.
So I'm just wondering if anyone else was hitting VO-52 about that time, or
if anyone might have heard me (W2BFJ). Trying to clarify whether VO-52 is
just not very busy or if I was not really hearing it after all!
Thanks,
Burns, W2BFJ
