I'm sharing with everybody!
On my second attempt, I was able to transmit an APRS position report packet via the GO-32 satellite and receive the digipeated packet for confirmation.
How did I do it? Well, I followed Bob's directions on
http://eng.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/GO32-ops.html and used my new Kenwood TM-D710 with the dual band mobile antenna on top of Amy's van.
NE3R-9>3Y2R2Q,4XTECH*:'i6(l ←v/]50W Mobile with 19" dual band whip=
That is my position report as I received it on the satellite's downlink frequency. The 4XTECH* represents the station that digipeated
my packet.
