Hi Pat,
As pointed out by Henk there are two entries for September 18th.

The last one is probably for September 19th.

The first is for the "real" 18th.

Yes. Sorry for today. I was confused when I checked the website versus
reports on Oscar website.

Hi Pat

Indeed, I would have assumed that  01:51 UTC to 14:20 HO-68 would have been off.
Note that the beacon is always audible (as far as I know)

Based on this schedule I would have assumed 14:20-15:05utc the FM repeater 
to have been on

Woaaah 
While typing this email: I just see there is a typo on the camsat website !
18 Sept is entered twice :-)  :-)
Try the same time tomorrow !

Henk

I've noticed this a few times as well and it has not been intermod as I've
had QSOs.  For a while I had hoped that the bird was going to be turned on
and left on but that has not been the case.

Sometimes when HO68 is not advertised by Alan to be ON, I can hear myself on
the down-link frequency.  Why is that.  Is the sat really ON, or am I
hearing intermod in my own equipment?  BTW, this was during a near overhead
pass.

Tnx, Larry W7IN

When it happens, do you note if any doppler?
