Most of the time\nthere is no beacon at all. Sometimes there is\njibberish. Usually the signal is very weak.\n\nWith AO-7 going through eclipse on every orbit, the\nsatellite can come out of eclipse in different modes/\noptions. Recently there have been times where the\nbeacon has transmitted clear CW over North America,\nsomething I have not heard over the years.\n\nAccording to the DK3WN website, there was some cw\ntelemetry back in 2002 when the satellite was discovered\nto be working again. And there was some discussion about\nwhat is valid data based on the last 3 digits sent in the\n24 group block of data. If the value is 649, 650, or 651,\nthe data is likely valid.\n\nI first heard the image of the cw signal around 958. It was\nso loud I thought it was a valid user at first. But since\nthe cw was all numbers I tuned up to the beacon frequency and\nthere the signal was louder than anything I have ever heard\non AO-7. It took a while for me to get the recorder running\nbut I managed to capture some data. After playing it back I\nfound that there was only one block of data where the last\ngroup was valid, a 649. Other later transmissions were loud\nbut the data was much different and the last group was not\ncorrect.\n\nI couldn't locate a telemetry calculator at first so I decided to\nbuild one on Excel using the formulae provided by DK3WN.

However, the solar panel numbers\nmight be somewhat correct. I wouldn't doubt it if the\ntransmitter was putting out 7 watts at the time.\n\nPerhaps there are those who are familiar with the AO-7\ntelemetry that can make some sense out of the data.\nUnfortunately we don't have multiple blocks of good data\nto compare readings. Maybe some have recorded recent CW\ndata and can find some good blocks that can be shared here.\n\nThe data was copied on my Arizona remote and Skype was being\nused to listen. But I am fairly confident that the cw copied\nis correct.\n\n73,\nJohn K8YSE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
