I regularly work SO-50 and AO-85 with my HT.  It's  a Yaesu FT-60R but
I've done it with a Baofeng UV5R as well.  I use GPredict on Linux to
track the birds.

I think that some folks use heavens-above.com for this purpose.  Along
with the entire AMSAT site, work-sat.com is relatively useful if you
can sift through the design.  Their tutorial helps one get set up for
working SO-50:  http://www.work-sat.com/Home_files/satbr-120616.pdf

It's tricky but he should be able to work SO-50 with a whip like those
from Nagoya, Comet, or Diamond.  I'm not sure it'd be possible with the
ducky but maybe he could monitor one.

Good luck!
