AO-16 currently silent and resting 11:15UTC 5May2008
by Mark L. Hammond 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hello all, The weekend presented a chance to gather some telemetry on AO-16. The telemetry looks nominal. Recently, the satellite seems to go silent on a nearly daily basis. Increasing eclipse periods remain a likely explanation, but we remain open to other explanations at this point. To this end, I have turned AO-16 OFF for a few days to rest and ensure that its batteries will be given a chance to become fully charged. Following its several day rest period, we'll try to conduct more tests to better determine what type of operations that AO-16 is currently able to support. Please do not transmit to AO-16 until further notice. 73 on behalf of the command team (and Happy Cinco de Mayo!), Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

At 0322Z May 05 i copy what i think will be the maximum SSTV quality achievable with my present setup. I uploaded them on my web page www.qsl.net/ve2dwe. Now i got this from the Masa about what the girl is saying. Here is what he wrote. Luc, It's English. She is calling ... Hello Hello Hello. Many JA not good at L/R pronunciation. hihi. Can you understand what she is saying before SSTV? She announces special code. Can you chatch the special code? I guess it is herad to catch it if it is clear condition. Her pronunciation is not good. hihi 73 Masa JN1GKZ Masa is right i play-back the digital recorder about 10 times and i still working on it but i will break the code soon i got 89% of it actually the missing 11% will be broken very soon...resistance is futile as the borg said. P.S. I see now the background in the picture... the mount FUJII "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE
