Subject: [amsat-bb] rx Sirius sat beacons with AIDC3733 converter
In addition: Good reception of sat carriers (+/- 2320.190 MHz)
with AIDC3733 2400>144 converter (was modified for AO40 rx):
receiver set at +/- 64.190 MHz (instead of 144.190)

Hello all; for information here in south west Europe we use 2320,100 to
2320,300 cw/ssb portion of 13cm band for tropospheric , AS , RS, traffic.
I have been told by Piero I5CTE
there is permanent continuous carrier beacon around 2320.190 MHz (+/-
doppler) by 1 of the 3 Sirius elliptic NA satellites.
It appears reception is very good here with small 20 turn helix
antenna (in spite of 12m heliax coax) peaking 539.
Apogee (50000km ) around 325deg with 27deg elevation.
F5BOF reports same signal with small hand held 25 elements f9ft yagi.
So these are for us very interesting beacons. Depending hours we can
receive 1 o 2 sats.
Any info about beacon sat polarisation and eirp ?
