[amsat-bb] CAS-7B

[Cal Spreitzer]

I attempted to make a contact this past Saturday (27 July 12:33 UTC) from FM-18 (Maryland).   It was a good pass over the US East Coast. There was extensive fading (in/out) making it very difficult to copy myself or any other stations.  I did hear one other station in there, Perry, WB8OTH but again broken to the point it was almost unreadable.  I tried changing power out between 1-25 watts but no noticeable change.  Not sure if this is from tumbling or something else?

Is this typical for this bird?

Planning on attempting to make a contact but I do not have a setup that can
output that much power.
