I didn't hear either pass this morning. The first one was 38 degrees to the
east, the second was 18 degrees to the west.
However ... I know of at least one operator who did hear stations on both
passes this morning (i.e., 11:25-ish UTC and 13:05-ish UTC) on the 435.300
downlink, and worked some on the first pass. I telephoned him when I didn't
hear anything on the first pass, then used the second to troubleshoot potential
problems here. When I didn't hear anything by mid-pass (and even at 18 degrees,
I routinely hear any of the satellites clearly here), I switched to AO-7 and
copied stations in SSB. I tried that with and without my duplexer, and copied
both ways.
So, it appears as though AO-51 is working, but may not have the transmit power
just now we're all used to.
73 to all,

According to the website, 435.150 is currently the downlink for 1.2
uplink on the B side (Mode L/U) - I had a great 80 degree pass last
evening which was showing great promise as the bird approached but I
assume that it was terminated for telemetry collection reasons!
