It is pouring down rain here, but I really really wanted to work this again! -- I didn't get setup, didn't bring my camera out, and stood on the door floor board of my van holding the radio up in the air - and moving the antenna horiztal and vertical. When it came up to about 22 degrees or so I started to hear it -
much easier to correct for doppler when all you are wanting to do is listen.
I followed for a little bit - everyone says that SO50 is a quite bird - I think it is quite loud, and quite easy to find relitively speaking (Granted I've only tried on the high passes)
And I know this just would not have worked if it was a low pass.
For give the static for like 8 or 9 mins, I don't have anyway to edit MP3s and my digital recorder records in MP3 format - nice unless something like this is going on.
Enjoy! - I wish I had a picture of me doing this...but that will have to wait till next time -
maybe next time I try to talk without my arrow!
