Actually, I have seen calling CQ on repeaters suggested in guides on
"How to be a LID" :D.  Over here, it is also customary to announce
that you're listening.  I personally don't like the callsign only
approach (fortunately, it's rare here - only time I can recall
hearing it is US stations via IRLP or Echolink), it's too abrupt and
vague, callsign and status (listening, testing, etc) is the preferred
approach here.  That allows for tests as well. :)

As the FM birds are essentially repeaters in the sky, most satellite
operators here use the same convention as for terrestrial
repeaters.  Most of the long CQs on FM sats I've heard have been from
newcomers who haven't yet sorted out their receive setups (so they
invariably trash any QSO in progress :( ).


>I've also heard plenty of people reply to this. :)

All the time, that's how repeater QSOs start, unless someone calls
someone specifically. :)

by anyone of importance.

This is more of an issue in the lesser populated parts of the
world.  The number of QSOs I've had on the linear birds that weren't
pre-arranged with another local is very small.  The majority date
back to the days of RS-10 (now there's a bird I miss).  Other than
that, I can recall a QSO on FO-29 during a demonstration at a
hamfest.  FM, OTOH, gets a reasonable response, though I have had
SO-50 and UO-14 to myself on late night passes.  Think I even managed
AO-51 to myself on one occasion. ;)

What's wrong with the linear birds?

Mode A - there's nothing regular there.  Mode A also has the
disadvantage that the 2m uplink must be tuned, when operating under
manual control.  Unfortunately, a lot of older 2m SSB radios will not
tune while transmitting, which makes the operating technique fiddly.

Mode B orJ - UHF SSB gear is still not that common.  Those that can
afford to regularly update their gear, and those who are VHF/UHF weak
signal operators will have the necessary gear, but the rest of us
don't have it.  For a LEO, it's not enough incentive to upgrade.  For
a HEO, that's a different ball game.

FOr me, there are 2 kinds of satellites that are likely to be
worthwhile chasing - FM LEOs and linear HEOs.  Where is data?  Well,
I'm not much one for low speed data, it's not really my cup of tea at
this time, though obviously, data birds do serve a useful purpose too.

Agreed, most are blown away when they find out it IS easy :)

This last pass I was trying to work a station that was a couple of db above

When you are alone on nightly pass you can use what you like but on crowded
pass when you hear folks calling CQQQQQ VERYYYY SLOWYYYYY or
blowing in their mike sending carrier to locate their downlink it is advisable
to use your head and logic when calling CQ. Just use
something short and phonetics are often useful but use the standard
international phonetic code. About 65% of the call are not decoded
right the first time as many use all kind of funny phonetics eg: XXXOTM is XXX
OLD TEXAS MAN instead of Oscar Tango Mike.

I don't know why this HF bad habit is still present on the satellites

Tony Langdon gives a false impression of current activity in this part of
the world (VK/ZL).  There is daily activity on AO-51, VO-52 AO-07 (Both
modes) AO-16 and to a lesser extent SO-50.  In the past six months I have
had almost 500 satellite QSOs almost equally spread across the above and
none were pre-arranged!

I remember a recent Journal article about a cardboard model of AO-51 and the

it in their shack and throw darts at it. ;-) Seriously though, I want an HEO

Must be a bit of a resurgence.  I used to try RS-12/13 when it was
active, and never got a random QSO on the bird.  I know I was getting
in, as I could hear my own downlink quite clearly.

The FM birds certainly have always been active (with the exception of
those occasional late night passes - I'm talking 11PM - 2AM local
time).  ISS was "standing room only" when I tried it the other
week.  AO-16 is a whole new ball game.  Unfortunately, anything with
UHF SSB is not feasible for me at this point in time. :(  VHF SSB I
can do (I have 2m all mode capability).  AO-7 I haven't tried, mostly
haven't got round to it, plus having a 50/50 chance (assuming a
random distribution of modes) of it being workable for me (I can only
do Mode A on SSB currently).

Thanks for the update BTW.

The cardboard model is still being worked on. Will be available soon. I

that it is a "moving target" for the those throwing darts. Always bouncing

Hi Stefan,
Well I'm definitely interested in having one when it's ready and I for one
will not be throwing darts at it.
I have some time off from work coming up and I'm hoping to finally finish
setting my station back up so I can start throwing some "RF darts" at the
real AO-51 and AO-7 and VO-52 as well. I like em all!!!

Forgive my obtuseness, but why is the state of Arizona have the limitation.
The others made sense, and I know that it is not the a primary reason
for the government to be clear on the reason.
