I had several nice contacts on a morning pass over fn21. Great signals.

Be sure your cable is connected to the "DATA OUT" pin (pin 4) and not "AF
OUT" (pin 5). You need the unfiltered audio from the 9600 bps pin.

Hi all,
I will be giving a satellite workshop this Saturday August 26th for the
Amateur Radio Club of Columbia County in Georgia. I am looking forward to
helping some more hams get on the birds! We will be on a few passes
throughout the day from EM83, so I?d appreciate if you?d be listening for me
and other operators on the FM birds. I?ll be demoing 12:31z SO-50 pass under
my own callsign and then plan to help other operators get on the 17:59z
AO-85 pass.
All QSOs made under my callsign will be uploaded to LOTW.
73!

You know Ruth
I read your email and I said to myself how many radio clubs and meetings
have I spent trying to get others motivated to participate
I have not yet had any one go that extra mile
People I find are lazy and seem interested when they are not
I have come to the conclusion that there will no those people that do and
there are those people that don't
I don't waste my time with the non doers
Why should it take some else to get another motivated

Presenting to others is about raising awareness in your activity. One will
not be interested in something if one doesn't know it exists.
You will not get 100% interest in your presentation. However, you may get a
few. Raising the awareness of a few is better than not trying. Play the long
game; it pays off in the end.

I for one am glad that there are doers (like Ruth, WD9EWK, AK4WK, KX9X and
many others I know) willing to go out and do demos like this.
The non-doers can stay home and make disparaging comments on the internet if
they like, that's not going to help one person become interested in this
hobby. However one enthusiastic operator demoing at a radio club meeting
just might.

I am glad that folks like Ruth KM4LAO, Sean KX9X, Patrick WD9EWK, and
others go and do demos of satellite operations for clubs. Even if you spark
interest in just 1 person out of 500 you've done a great job introducing
folks to a new part of the hobby!
I for one am not surprised folks haven't gotten interested after you've
gone and spoken to them, Andrew. If your interactions at these meetings are
anything like your "Internet persona" i.e. being condescending to those
asking questions, general rudeness, etc. chances are you're probably
driving folks away. Your negativity here is annoying and getting old quite
frankly.
Cheers,
Tucker

Anyone that was fortunate enough to witness the enthusiastic crowd
at the AMSAT Satellite Demos at this year's Hamvention would know
that a Satellite Demo/Workshop can be a big draw. Once people learn
that Sat Communications can be easily done with simple inexpensive
stations, the bug can bite them. One thing is for sure - when people do
nothing, nothing happens. Go get'em, Ruth!

I am glad that folks like Ruth KM4LAO, Sean KX9X, Patrick WD9EWK, and
others go and do demos of satellite operations for clubs. Even if you spark
interest in just 1 person out of 500 you've done a great job introducing
folks to a new part of the hobby!
I for one am not surprised folks haven't gotten interested after you've
gone and spoken to them, Andrew. If your interactions at these meetings are
anything like your "Internet persona" i.e. being condescending to those
asking questions, general rudeness, etc. chances are you're probably
driving folks away. Your negativity here is annoying and getting old quite
frankly.
Cheers,
Tucker
