Hi Greg and BB,

After the software reload the end of July, AO-51 went into a no eclipse 
period. This no eclipse period will last until next May.
We will be able to run higher power levels since there is always solar power 
and the batteries stay charged.

AO-51 is TXing more power than it has since April.

TXB (analog)  is currently at 650 mW and
TXA (digital) is at 590 mW.

You may need to get that ladder out :)

73,
Gould

 Haven't been on in a few days and saw that Gould did some software 
 uploads.
 Before I rip my system apart to troubleshoot, is the bird on a lower power
 level?  Usually those 32 degree passes over the Midwest for me are not
 difficult to hear.  Today, I could hear it but barely audible.



 Getting the ladder ready!



 Thanks and 73
