Some people have\nreported even higher offsets which are likely to be caused by\ntemperature dependency of the local oscillators on board the\nsatellite, so it may help to tune around a bit in order to find your\nown downlink, which makes operating the transponder a challenge hi:).\nGood luck working DO-64!\n\n73 on behalf of the DO-64 / Delfi-C3 team,\n\nWouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ\n\n\n\n> I listened to a pass earlier this morning ago over Miami Florida.\n> Good strong CW beacon heard throughout the entire pass, down until\n> about 1 degree, but still nothing heard on my uplink.\n>\n> 73 de W4AS\n> Sebastian\n>\n> On Sep 13, 2008, at 12:03 PM, Luc Leblanc wrote:\n>\n>> On 13 Sep 2008 at 8:15, WILLIAMS MICHAEL wrote:\n>>\n>>\n>>> As usual, the downlink signal gets weak on the second half of the\n>>> pass.\n>>>\n>>> Mike Williams K9QHO\n>>\n>> Got the same results here i got explanations regarding this signal\n>> drop for polarisation change but as the satellite attitude is\n>> uncontrolled i tend to believe it's more an effect of the antennas\n>> pointing towards the earth station and pointing away than a\n>> polarisation\n>> issue.
