[amsat-bb] fading?

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Hi Scott!

Good to hear you on AO-91 this afternoon - a benefit of a
work-from-home schedule. Easier to take a "smoke break" in
the front yard with a radio, than at the office on a
balcony with a lot of RF to deal with. :-)

I had fading during the first half of the pass, and not so
much after the midpoint. By the time I heard you, I wasn't
dealing with fading. Even twisting my Elk around, there were
points in the first half of the pass where the fading was
still getting in the way.

73!
