[amsat-bb] Re: AO-51 Mode S reports
Nothing heard over Seattle this last pass. However my max elevation was only about 5 degrees. Rx is a three foot primestar with a 3731aa downconverter. 73 Bob W7LRD - Original Message - From: Andrew Glasbrenner glasbren...@mindspring.com To: Amsat-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org, AO51 Modes ao51-mo...@amsat.org Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 2:36:03 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 Mode S reports AO-51 is currently in Mode V/S on 145.88/2401.200.

Pretty good signals on 2.4Ghz in Seattle CN87wk. Some deep fades, though could be the bird passing behind several trees (need a bigger dish). Rx 3 foot primestar/3731aa downconverter. Next pass will try a Keps dc. 73 Bob W7LRD - Original Message - From: Andrew Glasbrenner glasbren...@mindspring.com To: Amsat-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org, AO51 Modes ao51-mo...@amsat.org Sent: Monday, December 14, 2009 2:36:03 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 Mode S reports AO-51 is currently in Mode V/S on 145.88/2401.200.
