2-in-1 Satellite CafeCast for 10-09-19 Today I have combined two satellite passes into one CafeCast. AO-92, was a bit disappointing with little activity and seemed like some solar interference of some sort. The most active ham on this pass was Perry Yantis, WB8OTH of Ohio. He was struggling in the beginning trying to get any response. AO-91 occured just over a hour later with lots of activity during the entire pass. I heard several familiar calls including Michael, K9EI down in Texas. I hope you are all enjoying these satellite CafeCasts.

AO-91 for October 7, 2019 at 12:17 pm CST Did you try to make some contacts on the amateur radio satellite AO-91 today? I made a recording of the entire pass for you all to hear yourselves. You can tell by the audio of some that they were listening on a radio as they were transmitting. Their signals had that reverb effect as the audio coming out of their secondary radio was picked up in their mic. I know that many of you don't have that luxury and wonder if you are getting out at all. Well, now you can listen for yourself in my Satellite CafeCasts that I will share from time to time for your enjoyment. Please leave a voice message if you heard yourself and at what point in time in the podcast.  Until next time,...HAM IT UP! I'll probably be listening. 73, KD5DLJ (soon to be K5DCC) in the beautiful Ozarks of northwest Arkansas.

 Amateur Satellites are addicting. I recently built my own VHF Satellite Yagi and am having a ball listening to all the hams working each other on AO-91 and AO-92. I make it a point to record each pass and then go back and listen to capture all the different callsigns I hear. Did you know that there are many young people doing satellites, too? Come and meet some of them at the YACHT Net on the YACHT Echolink Conference Server and the DigiCommCafe Multimode Communications Network every Saturday night at 7:00 pm. We have some very impressive young hams checking in. Meet one of them who just happened by as I was recording this CafeCast!  Drop-in on my LIVE Podcast each morning at 7:00am Central in the DigiCommCafe Chat Group on Telegram in the Voice Chat!
