Back in late 1997 or early 1998 I was using a Kenwood TR9130 on 2m SSB.
One morning I was tuning from the FM to the
My guess would be AO13.If you have the exact date and time you may be able
to determine which satellite it was by using an old computer and the
original Quiktrack program.73,George W1GMA

Hello all!
I have been reading some posts mentioning that Amsat India would encourage FM
work through VO-52.
Is that for real or the other way around?
I personally would like to keep her as a SSB one and use SO-50 for FM contacts.
Could some one clarify that?

I think AO-13 was gone by 1997. I made lots of European QSO's on
AO-10 in that time frame.

The suggestion to mount the converter on the tower
near the antenna might have some good results, however,
there are two problems. The first is that you will need
two coax relays or a transfer switch up on the tower to
switch the converter in and out of the circuit. Then you
have the potential
I think they were encouraging it ONLY over India, where very few hams
have multi-mode capability.
I STRONGLY agree with Domenico, PLEASE keep FM OFF VO-52, and use AO-27,
or SO-50.

I have to disagree, considering the birds we have left we do we do not want to
screw them up. The amount of power used for FM/SSB is considerable. As per
instructed by several control teams using FM on a sat that was designed forr
SSB does not cause damage but uses so much more power drain
I had forgotten about the RS satellites. Not sure if Wales would have been
in the footprint from where I was at in Iowa at that time. I sure miss
RS12/13. That was a great satellite to get on. Mode T worked very well.
Wish they would put another one up like it.

Anyone else try to send packets via FASTRAC 1 on the most recent two
passes late evening over North America? I only received the CW beacon
and one burst of telemetry on each of the two passes over East Texas.
I did notice on the first pass that my Keplerian elements were off by
a little bit but
Many Hams used RS-12/13 when it was below their horizon (often without
knowing it), due their HF uplink getting bounced and bent around by the
ionosphere before hitting the satellite. So, it wasn't necessary for the other
station to be in the traditional satellite footprint to be heard.
