This was probably something similar. Not sure if there is a solution.

Let's hope ISS doesn't start tumbling more than once per orbit! It's a pretty sensitive mode, but it still won't work with a zero-watt transmitter. If you do convince them to leave the ISS powered up on board ISS, we could evaluate rapit deep fades in the channel by putting middle school students in charge of holding an arrow antenna. My concern is that the on/off cycling won't play well with my convolutional interleaver. It takes 16.384 seconds to fill the interleaver at AOS. You might get decoded data up to 8 seconds earlier than that if what you do get is very clean, but there's little margin for additional error correction. And when the transmitter switches off, the interleaver will drain over 16.384 seconds as it fills with noise. If the signal in the last 16.384 seconds before switch-off is unusually strong, you may be able to decode data up to 8 seconds before LOS. But anywhere from 8 to 16 seconds will be chopped off *each end* of each already very short 40-60 second transmission. I designed this signal to deal well with occasional deep fades lasting up to 1-1.5 seconds -- not for total fades lasting 2 minutes at a time. Had I known that this emergency low power mode was actually going to be used, I would have designed the whole mode completely differently, with block interleaving aligned to the transmit on/off times. The golden rule of the modem designer: know your channel. Optimizing for one impairment usually pessimizes it for something else. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

A lot of times at great elevation, with Alaska, Canada and some of the US well inside the footprint. Of course everyone is asleep at this time, but I was wondering if this will keep getting better and maybe some of the earlybirds would like to try workin it like we do the 51 so early in the morning as we so often do?
