There was some CW sweeping the\ntransponder, but I was able to stay around 145.965 MHz on the downlink\nwith nothing more than adjustments on my uplink frequency. High power \nis definitely not needed for this satellite.\n\nMy station was my usual portable all-mode setup - two FT-817NDs, Elk\nhandheld dual-band log periodic antenna. Transmitting at 5W, I could\nhear myself early in the pass. I need to do better twisting the antenna at\nboth ends of the pass to have an easier time copying the downlink. At \nthe midpoint of the pass, I cut my power down to 500mW. I could barely\nhear myself, weak but readable. I will try the other two power levels the \nFT-817ND has on other passes, to get a better idea on how sensitive the \nsatellite's uplink receiver is. I should also be able to hear the transponder\non my TH-F6A HT, my backup radio for satellite work.\n\nI hope to publish a little video in the next day or so with the audio I \nrecorded and photos I took. No rain tonight, but the temperature was \naround 50F/10C when I was on the radio. My dog didn't want to stay\nin the house while I was playing radio, so she ran around the yard. I\nwill put a photo or two of her in the video.\n\nThanks to AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-NL, and everyone who worked to get \nFUNcube-1 (AO-73) in orbit and operational. Good night, and 73!\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n\n\n", "attachments": [] }
