Just listened to the 01:30 pass of XW-1.... even with just a 1/4 wave groundplane, that beacon is impressively strong!!! Can't wait to play on the transponders!! George, KA3HSW

Ao-51 mode V/S over Europe
by Francesco Grappi 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi, Strong signal at 16.50 to 17.00 utc over europe this evening from Ao-51 mode V/S. For entire pass the signal was very good over s-9 into 90 cm dish with Keps downconverter. Only twice during the entire orbit (3-4 seconds each), the signal dropped down below noise level. No tackers, only a few people who spoke French on the frequency of AO-51 uplink. 73" Frank IW4DVZ
