[amsat-bb] Re: LOTW Satellites from the Old Days
Hi Bob, W7LRD Yes ! I remember, we worked on AO40 I belive in Mode-U/S particularly when the satellite was very low over the horizon for both of us. I will check on my tape recorder and as soon i will find a QSO with you I will made for you a WAV file I send this email to you as well via AMSAT-BB because your provider @comcast.net very often rejects all emails coming from my provider @tin.it and so probably it will be a problem to send you a WAV flle ! If you have another email address please let me know.

Hi Joe, I believe the two sides of both of the satellites had different, fixed, frequency settings. So, you can tell which side it was by what frequencies you were using.

I would have not known at the time of the QSO if I were talking on RS-10 or RS-11. As you know they were multiple satellites, but physically connected together as one orbiting object, they may have even had only one power bus. 73, Joe kk0sd -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of i8cvs Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 12:35 AM To: Gary Joe Mayfield; 'AMSAT' Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: LOTW Satellites from the Old Days - Original Message - From: Gary Joe Mayfield gary_mayfi...@hotmail.com To: 'AMSAT' amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2012 9:36 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] LOTW Satellites from the Old Days One of my winter projects is to get all of my OSCAR contacts back to 1989 in LOTW.

Hi Joe, For RS-10/11, I'd recommend just using RS-10. I don't recall ever hearing the 11 side of that bird on during the several years that I worked it. They did a lot of switching around of RS-12 and 13, especially towards the end of its life, so that one will be harder to select.
