ANDE in VOICE mode Friday evening over Europe
by Henk, PA3GUO 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Dear all, During the 22:55 CET / 21:55 UTC pass (~75 degrees) ANDE will be commanded in VOICE mode. Allow me until the first few minutes to get it in that mode. Just type a message to TALK and your message should be spoken. :TALK :Hello this is me should make ANDE say "Hello this is me". Please note that RF output of VOICE is lower as packets. In case there is more interest, this can be repeated during the next days as well. (up/downlink 145.825, U APRS VIA ARISS) Henk, PA3GUO Check out the ANDE de-Orbit AWARD: http://www.ande-deorbit.com !

PROJECT OSCAR ANNIVERSARY
by Dave Guimont 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

I wish to thank everyone for the ideas I've received concerning the subject. But this is Rob's baby, his idea, and I appreciate a copy to me, but not really necessary... Send directly to amsat.org, or Rob rob_g8ate(a)hotmail.com I shot my wad, on here, mainly to stir some ideas from the old timers on the bb, and hope it is helping... I'll forward to him, of course, with no difficulty, but I want to make it clear he is the honcho!! Newcomers to satellites, all over the world, join the crowd, your questions could really help the research down the line, to perpetuate the event.... 73, Dave wb6llo(a)amsat.org Disagree: I learn.... Pulling for P3E...
