Hi all,
I worked into ARISSat -1 this evening ( Wednesday 21st December, 1730
hrs) prior to it shutting down via
the timer as it moved into the eclipse area.
My downlink was quite healthy once again just using an "Elk" antenna and
about 20 watts RF power.
Sadly no takers/response to my CQ calls , I also can report that the FM
transmissions were also healthy
including SSTV. ( I was not set up to decode or record this)
The opportunities over here in Europe will improve with regression over the
next few days and I will once again call in to the satellite whilst it is
still active and available prior to it perhaps loosing major height.
Thanks to all of the team and key players in this project which has been of
significant value to me personally
for use as a demonstration and example of our hobby.
Merry Christmas and Very Best wishes and Good Luck to all for the coming
New Year.
