[sarex] Re: ISS Repeater sensitivity

[Roger Kolakowski]

I'm in with 10w and some not fancy center loaded vertical...You just have to
pick your times though.

I think I did notice that once you are in, the repeater seems to "hold" your
signal but if you drop your carrier you probably won't be able to pick it up
right away.

Anyway...no complaints...it's a lot of fun here in New England.

tried a vertical and 30 watts up with little success. Now I am using about
25 watts into a homebrew 7 element UHF beam fro the uplink with intermittent
success. It might only be my rig but I noticed the iss recieves a little low
( considering doppler compensation too)
