I have an 8900 and have found the right side hears the birds a just a little
better than the left.... Anyone else hear anything like that?

The 8800 is sweet for everything else that I use it for - repeaters, x-band
repeat (handy function!), simplex, you name it, but I never seemed to have
good success using it for satellite work. Maybe I need to pull it out again
and give it another try.
Like I said, I can?t make an accurate judgment on it since I have only used
it a few times. I do know that in my experience the receive sensitivity of
radios (of the same make/model) differ from radio to radio. I have 2
THG71As sitting on my desk that are proof of that. I have to use a certain
one for receive because the other one doesn?t produce as good results.
Just my 2 cents.....

Hmmm ... I just didn't experience that. Does your '8800 work fine for
local/repeater work?

So, I've been trying to use SO-67 and HO-68 for a few days now, and I
have had no luck.
For equipment, I've been using a Yaesu FT-60R programmed with the
primary frequencies and two secondaries programmed on either side for
Doppler shift. My antenna is an ELK 2m/440cm.
Now, I know SO-67 has been down, but all the passes I've tried have
been after that satellite was supposedly "repaired" and back on
schedule. Nada. Not even quieting in the receiver.
HO-68 has been a similar bust. I checked the schedule posted from Alan
and highlighted the ones that were supposedly on for FM/PACSAT over NA
and heard nothing. The latest pass I tried was at 17:58 UTC 89 degrees
straight overhead, but still I heard nothing and it was supposed to be
on.
I know my receiver is working, because I checked all my programmed
frequencies, and I have been able to work AO-27 and AO-51 in the past
few days, and I heard the ISS Packet beacon several times as well.
Now that I think of it, I haven't heard SO-50 either.
Any thoughts?
I've had better luck on the weaker sats with my mobile and a short
whip than I have with this ELK antenna. What gives?

I did not hear HO-68 on 12Jan on the afternoon
North America passes. This morning 13Jan it was not heard
at 1408 UTC either. The beacon appears to be off as
well. Let's hope this is not a serious problem.
Anyone else have the same experience?

Hello John and BB,
Same kind of experiences over here, I listened for beacon signal two
european passes earlier today and nothing heard.

I heard HO-68 once during the past few days when just the beacon was on. I
figured something was odd when I didn't hear any packet traffic over the FM
transponder.

North America passes. This morning 13Jan it was not heard
at 1408 UTC either. The beacon appears to be off as
well. Let's hope this is not a serious problem.
Anyone else have the same experience?

Just a reminder to everyone, the OSCAR Satellite Status page by KD5QGR
is a great resource for determining up-to-the-minute statellite
status:
http://oscar.dcarr.org/
Often times, if you don't hear a satellite, you can check the page and
instantly see reports from one or two other hams who have observed the
same thing (or not!).

Hi all,
I can report the same experience in respect of HO-68 beacon on two of the
morning passes over here in the UK.
Sorry I did not report it initially until I had confirmed my equipment was
OK on passes of VO-53, we had lots
of rain over the past two days so needed to be sure that I was not making
an incorrect report.

Dear Mike,
Thank you very much for your report!
I received same fault reports from NA, EU and Asia. When we reset satellite
onboard computer it
was solved, but the problem happened frequently recent days. We are now
studying and analyzing
telemetry data, I will let you know when we get the results.
Please let me know if you get any fault report about HO-68.

Hi all,
Thanks to Alan & Mike for the acknowledgement and update regarding HO-68
problems.
Apologies to all for my spelling mistake by the way - I stated that I had
checked out my equipment using
"VO-53" - It should have course read as VO-52.
The brain with age and my keyboard abilities have declined !
