[amsat-bb] AO-91 or 92 problem receiving

[Mike Diehl]

Interesting. I ran into a similar problem but with SO-50. I mounted a GoPro to the boom of my arrow and worked an AO-85 pass and everything seemed fine. I then had a fairly shallow pass of SO-50 and could barley make out anything, I quickly detached it and moved it away and I could hear the bird just fine. 

You may want to look into shielded CAT-6, I hear this helps.
