[amsat-bb] HO-68 - first FM pass over Australia

2009-12-27 Thread vk5alx
in the received audio was evident indicating that the satellite's receiver might be a little off frequency or that it prefers narrow deviation. Hopefully we will have more opportunities to test the bird further before it is commissioned for normal use. 73 and best wishes for 2010 Alex VK5ALX

Will need to wait a little longer to try out this new satellite over Australia. Current two switch on times are AFTER the satellite footprint has passed my location and that of main population centres of Australia. Good luck to everyone else. Alex VK5ALX
