Hello Allen---thank you for the report! I will look into it as soon as possible, which may be early AM on Saturday May 3rd. It is possible that the increasing eclipse period is still too much for the current power level of the transmitter. I will copy amsat-bb on this reply so others are aware of your observation. Thank you for the timely report. 73, Mark N8MH At 06:18 AM 5/2/2008 -0500, you wrote: >Mark: > >Nothing heard from AO-16 this morning (02-May-08, 1103utc) on a 70 deg max elev pass. I did work the 01-May-08 pass at 2250utc and the bird sounded fine. No posts for AO-16 on Dave Carr;s web page since 1600utc 01-May-08. > >73 >Allen N5AFV > Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]

Hi Rob & all, I can also confirm strong signals here in the UK (South Wales ) IO81EM. Latest pass at 0956 GMT - I was in a local shop and stepped outside to listen with my Kenwood THD7 and just using the helical antenna - Good strong signals even down to an elevation of about 10 degrees. Caused quite fuss when I explained to people that it was an amateur satellite -Hi Sorry no method of recording, wish I had taken my mobile phone! Regards & may the good work and results continue.

AAUSAT-II and CANX-2
by Sion Chow Q. C. (9W2QC) 02 May '08

02 May '08

Dear All, Has anyone successfully copied CW telemetry from AAUSAT-II on 437.425 MHz and CANX-2 on 437.478 MHz? If so, could someone kindly point out what keps are they using for this 2 satellites? Right now, all my time is dedicated to Cute-1.7 + APDII, Seeds, Compass-1 and Delfi-C3. But I think I should not leave out both of them. Quick checks during Object J and E passes for AAUSAT-II and CANX-2 but I did not hear anything. Maybe I will pay more attention to them later. Also, I read somewhere that CANX-2 also transmits on 2407.650 MHz. Can someone confirm that this is operational too? 73, Sion Chow Q. C., 9W2QC.

DELFI-C3 rx report 2008-05-02 08:13-08:26UTC
by Rob Hardenberg PE1ITR 02 May '08

Sry report is from 2008-05-02 Hi, Good pass with continuous transmissions. Using now NORAD# 32790 (Object H) for tracking DELFI-C3. This gives much better results on the automatic doppler correction. Its more stable. Object H is 25 seconds earlier on LOS than the signal of DELFI-C3. 73 Rob PE1ITR http://www.pe1itr.com

Just heard ANDE FCAL (NO-62) on 437.385 on the 0606UTC pass over W. Michigan EN62. Space-Track has re-entry predition of May 2 for this bird. With the new satellites in order there hasn't been much fanfare on the list about this. 73, Armando, N8IGJ
