I had a chance to get my Satellite rig on the air and added in information for HuskySat-1 and RS-44. Never heard HuskySat, but during a pass around 23:45Z, I worked KS1G on CW, and N3CAL, W4ZXT + W5CBF on SSB. Heard a bunch of European stations as well.
This satellite seems to have amazingly fast and deep fades, so the antenna must be occluded frequently (I’m using CP antennas). I would often hear only part of a callsign before it would swing from S9 to in the noise. That made for a challenge.
Funny coincidence; this is the first satellite that my Uplink didn’t have to be calibrated. The default Uplink and Downlink values that I put into Doppler.sqf were spot on for my IC-9700.
(ED: 3 of the 4 have already confirmed in LotW – Thanks!)
