So does that mean we get L/U from this evening? I hope so as the last few passes have been bad for me so a chance for Mode L would be gratefully received!

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 L/U
David and the BB, There is a published schedule that says that L/U is subject to interruption for telemetry collection. I sent out a note to the BB earlier today explaining the problem I am having getting the satellite ready for this weekend. The 22:30 pass only affected those in the eastern US, I don't plan on changing L/U during the 00:00 pass that covers a larger area. The only schedule I can give you is that I will work on the satellite until I feel that it will give solid operation for this weekend, which I hope will be in the next 24 hours. 73, Gould, WA4SXM - Original Message - From: "David - KG4ZLB" To: Cc: "Andrew Glasbrenner" ; "Gould Smith" ; Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 6:43 PM Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 L/U > Listening on the 22:24utc pass of AO-51 just now and for the second day > running, the sudden distinct change in sound reception tells me that the > analogue signal is being switched over to digital for TLM collection just > as it gets to me in Florida. > > If this is so then could we have a schedule of what passes TLM is going to > be collected please - we only get a few days to work mode L and I am 0 for > 2 and I can not be bothered to waste time if the published schedule is > not going to be adhered too! > > If its just not working in L/U then forget the rant! > > Thanks > > -- > David > KG4ZLB > www.kg4zlb.com > > > > n...@bellsouth.net wrote: >> Thanks for this Drew.

[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 L/U
Listening on the 22:24utc pass of AO-51 just now and for the second day running, the sudden distinct change in sound reception tells me that the analogue signal is being switched over to digital for TLM collection just as it gets to me in Florida. If this is so then could we have a schedule of what passes TLM is going to be collected please - we only get a few days to work mode L and I am 0 for 2 and I can not be bothered to waste time if the published schedule is not going to be adhered too! If its just not working in L/U then forget the rant! Thanks -- David KG4ZLB www.kg4zlb.com n...@bellsouth.net wrote: > Thanks for this Drew.
