[amsat-bb] HC8LUT

[David Swanson]

Actually Matt - it was a combination of AB1OC, AF5CC, and KC7KIU all using
excess amounts of power, and none of them hearing each other. Here's a
great RF recording I took on my SDR today of the pass in question. Feel
free to download it here:

I recommend HDSDR for playback, but any SDR software should suffice. The
fun stuff (and by 'fun' I mean transponder destroying dQRM) begins at
21:10:38z.

Looking thru my logs it appears I've given at least 2 of culprits a fair
amount of rover grids. If you can figure out how use your power knobs, I
might give you more in the future. If not, then don't bother calling me on
the road again.
