[amsat-bb] AO-73 at 03:30Z

2014-08-03 Thread Paul Stoetzer
Good evening,

I have been on a few evening passes of AO-73 lately and have found
little to no activity. With the loss of VO-52, AO-73 now carries our
easiest to hear linear transponder. I will be on the 03:30Z pass over
the United States that covers much of the United States if anyone
cares to join me. I will be calling CQ at around 145.965 MHz.

The transponder will shut off just after 03:37:15 when it enters sunlight.

73,

Paul, N8HM

Worked W5PFG and heard one or two others tuning around trying to find
themselves. I think someone came back to me right as the satellite
went behind my building and probably seconds before the transponder
turned off. Maybe next time!
