New experience: My last pass of today for ANDE-2 had only 8 degrees max. elevation. And - my station did still decode 2 packets from Pollux !
During the day, with the higher elevation passes, RF link was not alway much better (read, I just get normally a few more packets) This is the same as yesterday and same as with the ANDE-1 mission; low elevation passes sometimes give very good quality RF links. 17:01:57 !POLLUX-1>TELEM>CQ:SYST 257895 0 0 33 0 0021 1818 0052 1668 002e 16b8 013c 1390 0161 11f0 ffff ffff 0156 08d2 0fbe 003a 17:05:15 !POLLUX-1>TELEM>CQ:SYST 258093 0 0 33 0 000e 1958 01ac 1788 0020 17a8 0011 1420 0007 1310 ffff ffff 0156 08d2 0fbe 003a Keplerset looks OK, as start/stop times of hearing the sats match the predicted passes. I can hear Pollux from/till 1 degree elevation. (hear is not the same as decode :-)) Henk. _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
