Hi Mark,

Well another pass to report.  09-11-15 at AOS 2035, 58 Deg El.
As before , No telemetry, no tone required, solid response from transponder.
Uplink 2.5w to nominal 15db yagi.
Up FMN, down FMN.
Downlink crossed 10 el Yagi.
Downlink signal  pushing my TS-2000 to full scale - S9 + 60db for most of 
the pass.

Hope that helps.
