I see! As for low usage of the BBS, well, most of the folks that used GO-32 either don't have 1.2g or have not been able to get into the AO-51 BBS at all since the new configuration was put in place. I have been unable to use AO-51 BBS with a 70 watts brick on 1.2g, a directives system 23 cm RHCP 12 turn helix 14.5 dBic gain, 1/4 inch heliax coaxial cable after many days of trying. I can into AO-51 using voice with no problem. I know the frequency is a little off and have tried adjusting but no luck.
I just wonder if the BBS was in V/U mode how many more users would show up. Can a schedule mode be requested for the BBS for V/U??? Oh well, as you said, it is a low priority. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Glasbrenner" <[email protected]> To: "Angelo Glorioso" <[email protected]> Cc: "AMSATBBS" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 8:44 PM Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] New Control Software > Angelo Glorioso wrote: >> Hi Drew, >> I was wondering if any process has done on getting the BBS back on V/U >> again?
