... contact WD9EWK - I believe he uses "twin" '817 rigs for working some satellites. Or
if not, he will have a reference for you!
That's nice of you to point out that WD9EWK is someone that can be trusted for good information when it comes to utilizing amateur radio satellites. With that said, maybe you should ask WD9EWK if it's okay to refer people to him rather than just blinding sending people to him. If my information is correct (it is), WD9EWK isn't an AMSAT Ambassador and, if he chooses to respond, it would be because he's a good man that likes to help others.
I would have thought that someone that loves to brag that they are an AMSAT Ambassador could have handled this issue by themself and not had to call-in outsiders. I guess I was wrong.
Best of luck to the OP. I'm not an AMSAT Ambassador but can tell you that Google or other search engines can be your friend. There are ways of controlling both of your radios and there are those that will be willing to help you if you are willing to do a bit of research on your own. We all look forward to hearing you on the amateur radio satellites.
