Having never worked through FO-29 until the 15th of this month I am pleased
to say that it was pretty easy to access and make contacts. On the 01:21
UTC pass on the 15th my first QSO was with W5PFG, and then W1AW/5, KG6NUB,
and AC0RA. This morning on the 13:22 UTC pass I worked NM3B, K4FEG, N8RO,
N5JF, WA4NVM, N5UXT, XE2BHL, and XE1AO. My rig is the FT-897D and the
antenna is a tripod mounted Arrow. This is the set up I will use while in
CN-73 next week.
Early Saturday morning we will drive to Portland, Oregon where we will spend
the night with my XYL's sister, and sometime on Sunday we will head down the
coast where we will end up in Bandon By The Sea that evening. I don't know
if I will have time to make any attempts on the satellite Sunday evening,
but my plans are to be ready for the Monday morning passes.
At the suggestion do Wyatt, AC0RA, I will be transmitting on 145.935 and
listening somewhat higher than 435.850 so as to not interfere with stations
operating in the middle of the band.
Remember that I am extremely green at this, operating through a linear
transponder, so don't be surprised if I goof up from time to time.
Please email me if you have any suggestions and/or advice.
See ya on the bird!

I have used for some time a small satellite station composed of two
lindenblads, one for 145 MHz and the other for 435 MHz. The UHF one
was a parasitic lindenblad from a well known project of some years ago
that I think is still available on the web (I don't remember the
details now). I have commented on my experience with lindenblads on
this mailing list a few times in the past, so there might be my
messages in the archives (if they exist at all).
What I can say is: signals are nowhere near the ones you can have with
even small yagis with azimuth and elevation controls, also adding two
preamplfiers under the antennas greatly improved the chances to make
QSOs.
I was able to work many contacts with that setup (FT-847 as rtx),
mostly CW on the linear sats, but also some FM contacts on all
satellites available some years ago (2008-2010), and of course some
SSB contacts on the linear sats.
I assume that having switchable polarity can only make things better.
