New Radio on AO-51

Published on 2008-01-29 by Mark VandeWettering

Well, last night I went and programmed in the various doppler shifted frequencies for AO-51 into the new FT-817, and then this morning worked the morning pass half duplex with Leo, W7JPI and W6GMT. The recording of course doesnโ€™t include my own voice, but the audio quality was really good. You can occasionally hear a beep tone, thatโ€™s where I hit the up switch on the mic to move to the next pre-programmed Doppler setting. Very nice.
