Good evening,
I will be on the 03:20Z AO-73 pass that covers much of North America
this evening. Last night was fun! Hope to hear a few people on the
satellite.
I will call CQ at around 145.965 MHz.
The satellite will enter sunlight at 03:27:45 and the transponder will
shut off.

Great to hear and work AA5PK, AC0RA, and CO6CBF on that pass. A couple
of CW stations and one or two stations who couldn't find themselves
were also heard in the passband.

The AMSAT-BB is certainly an appropriate forum for this discussion. Any
and all discussion of amateur satellite operations is most welcome!

The goal overall
it shut down, I observed KB1RVT's signal start to FM while the
transponder's noise floor was modulated by a strong CW signal in the
passband. I replied to him and that was the last I heard of it.
I'll be on next orbit around 21:28Z. Hopefully it stays on the whole pass.

Worked PV8DX, K4FEG, and K4TB on the 21:28Z pass across the middle of the
United States.
Signals were nice and strong at the beginning of the pass, but seemed to
weaken in the middle of the pass. It stayed on the whole time, though.

reported on descending passes, though signals
were reported to be weak and distorted at times this morning over the
United States. Weak and distorted signals on the two meter downlink may be
partially explained by Sporadic E as six meters has been open most of the
morning.

I have heard that a few times.
A month or so ago, I was talking to AC0RA on FO-29 one night when the
beacon started coming up right under us.
What would be really neat is to decode the telemetry that way, though I
doubt you'll ever hear it strong enough to do so.

Interesting that the orbits of two CubeSats deployed at the same time
are decaying much differently. Since the two satellites are identical
in size, the antenna configuration and mass must be more favorable on
LituanicaSAT-1.

I have no idea. It's something interesting at about 145.975 +/-
Kind of sounds like the RTTY telemetry. I recorded this on May 2nd at
about 2100 UTC.

heard anything on
the 29.502 MHz beacon frequency, though that may be more due to using
inadequate antennas.

What telemetry, if any, is AO-07

Regardless of what happens, best of luck to everyone working on the
Fox program. I am making a small recurring monthly contribution to the
program and I hope that everyone who is able to do so provides
whatever support they can.

to the FUNcube-2 payload on UKube-1 and the FUNcube-3
payload on QB50p2, apparently both launching June 19th, but I see
conflicting information about the DNEPR launch for QB50p1 and QB50p2

Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support
channel transponder. It'd be great if a few of them could
turn on the loopback mode and open them up for use by the amateur
community when they complete their missions.

Hi Trevor.
Thanks for all the info on two more transponders
above center and move down only if nobody is responding
there.
Now, there was also non-ham FM QRM on the center frequency, but that's
a different story and there's not much we can do about that.

It looks like eclipse season has started for AO-7 as it was reported
to still be in Mode B this morning over Europe and South America.
This means it should be in Mode B daily for the next 16 weeks or so.
Enjoy!

I second the congratulations. It remains the easiest of our current
satellites to hear and put a strong signal through. Even 5 watts to an
Elk antenna is too much power at times on high elevation passes.

Microwave LNAA432 preamp. I was having some desense issues and further
inspection revealed a nick in my feedline as the probable cause.
I look forward to trying it out again in the remaining weeks before it decays.
