There have been Mode B passes here during which I couldn't hear myself at all, even if the elevation was well above the horizon and there wasn't much local RFI. During the pass that just finished, I could barely hear my downlink even with the satellite nearly overhead at TCA. The signal was weak and crackly.
I plan on trying a VO-52 pass later this morning to see if perhaps there's a problem with my station, such as a cable fault. 73s Bernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL On 7/26/12, Ib Christoffersen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > AO-07 seems to be a little strange. > It changes between mode-A and mode-B (or perhaps mode-C) > Mode C is the same as B but with lower power on the downlink. > > Looking at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ > > is also confusing. > > Perhaps the sun angle is very bad. > > Any bids ? > > 73 OZ1MY > Ib > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via [email protected].
