I didn't hear either pass this morning. The first one was 38 degrees to the east, the second was 18 degrees to the west.
However ... I know of at least one operator who did hear stations on both passes this morning (i.e., 11:25-ish UTC and 13:05-ish UTC) on the 435.300 downlink, and worked some on the first pass. I telephoned him when I didn't hear anything on the first pass, then used the second to troubleshoot potential problems here. When I didn't hear anything by mid-pass (and even at 18 degrees, I routinely hear any of the satellites clearly here), I switched to AO-7 and copied stations in SSB. I tried that with and without my duplexer, and copied both ways. So, it appears as though AO-51 is working, but may not have the transmit power just now we're all used to. 73 to all, Tim - N3TL -------------- Original message from David - KG4ZLB <[email protected]>: -------------- > According to the website, 435.150 is currently the downlink for 1.2 > uplink on the B side (Mode L/U) - I had a great 80 degree pass last > evening which was showing great promise as the bird approached but I > assume that it was terminated for telemetry collection reasons! > > -- > David > KG4ZLB > www.kg4zlb.com > > > > Luc Leblanc wrote: > On the 1300Z pass over FN36 there was no signal on > 435.300mhz but the data > channel 435.150mhz was on! > > > > > > "-" > > > > > > Luc Leblanc VE2DWE > > Skype VE2DWE > > www.qsl.net/ve2dwe > > WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Sent via [email protected].
