This was on a clear night...

    having issues with AMC6

    having issues with AMC6

I couldn't get any Linear transponder but when I did a blind scan for Circular it found 246 radio channels - Looks to be Sirius and other channels named Echost-001 ~ 030 among others. Only 2 out of the 246 channels had audio, all the others...
