I'm wrong when I remind you about the two stations I mentioned 14 days ago with their *EXTREME* power.\n\nOne thing's for sure, that kind of power is *NOT* good for AO-7 and could well have \"knocked\" the satellite into a mode-A/C switching period ... this *IS* possible.\n\nYou may remember I did warn a couple of months ago, when I first noticed the imminent changing of the transponder modes about what *could* happen with excessive power abuse.\n\nI fear it has now happened ... though I sincerely hope I am wrong and it's just a passing phase ... (pardon the pun).\n\nTime will tell.\n\n73 John. <[email protected]>\n\nTo: [email protected]\nFrom: [email protected]\nDate: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:39:19 +0300\nSubject: Re: [eu-amsat] The laws of physics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n ...yes indeed gentlemen, it's a very interesting theme. I wonder also\n\nseveral times about that.\n\n\n\nThomas, because I'm using NOVA for several years, the \"Visible\" is always\n\nwhen the satellite is illuminated. Without light, how is possible to be \n\nvisible? Simply impossible.\n\n\n\nTherefore, NOVA has 3 states:\n\n\n\n1)Visible (illuminated Satellite)\n\n2)Sun ( \"\" \"\"\n\n3)Eclispe (NON illuminated Sat)\n\n\n\nBut I complete agree with: \"if a satellite is sunlit or not has nothing to\n\ndo with greyline and sunlight/night on our Earth\".\n\n\n\n.. and I remember dozens evening & night's asceding passes of AO-7 from \n\nEast-South to North during last months,\n\nwhere the AO-7 was over the dark side of planet's surface, but it was \"ON\".\n\nHowever, NOVA always under this case wrote: \"Visible\" or \"Sun\".\n\n***************************************************************\n\n\n\nJohn,\n\n\n\nabout your note I have to say that:\n\n\n\ndefinitely the latest behavior of AO-7 has to do with Grey-Line's crossing.\n\n I agree. Just I diversify with your note about the crossing-timing\n\nof footprint with Grey-Line. I think, the Satellite is \"turned-ON\" when is \n\nabout\n\n1000-2000 Km behind of Greyline (over the dark area) and is mooving forward \n\nto\n\nthe Daylight. At that time, a part of footprint is already into Daylight.\n\n\n\nToday evening, I noticed about just the same.\n\nAsceding orbit 50572, 15:55 Z -16:04 nothing heard. Probably was OFF.\n\n At 16:05 Z I heard (suddenly) 2,3 signals on CW, but very weak.\n\n\n\nI can't explain also this unusual, strange ECHO on Downlink-signals ! It's \n\nalways here,\n\nwhen the Downlink signal is very weak.\n\n (That remembers to me the \"HF propagation\", when the signal is received\n\nfrom Short & Long path the same time !)\n\n\n\nAnother observation: it's obvious my Power is not enough anylonger for \n\naccessing of AO-7.\n\n I say that because, tonight even if I heard clear somebody to call CQCQ, it\n\nwas unable to access the Satellite with my 50 Watts ERP in order to answer \n\nto him.\n\n It's obvious that, AO-7 needs much more Uplink Power now.\n\n\n\nDesensitization of AO-7's receiver ? Bad power-budget?\n\nI don't know... I have no any comment here.\n\n\n\n73, Mak SV1BSX\n\n\n\n----- Original Message ----- \n\nFrom: \"Thomas Frey\" <[email protected]>\n\nTo: <[email protected]>\n\nSent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:40\n\nSubject: Re: [eu-amsat] The laws of physics.\n\n\n\n> John Hackett schrieb:\n\n>>\n\n>> NB.\n\n>>\n\n>> It's interesting to note that when the *footprint* crosses the grey\n\n>> line ...
