I decided I needed a break, so I wandered outside and caught the SO-50 pass from the parking lot using my TH-D7A and my trusty Arrow antenna. SO-50 has a reputation of being a bit finicky: I seem to always be struggling a bit with it, rotating my arrow can seem to either completely null the signal, or can bring it booming in, or sometimes, it just fades and is hard to locate. This pass, I also seemed to be not hearing the normal signs that I needed to tweak the Doppler until late, so it wasn’t that good of a pass. Still, I managed to exchange calls with K7WIN Jeff and KC9ELU Mike (over 2000 miles). Audio follows:
