One thing I've always wondered, just before the SRB splashes down, something is jettisoned off the bottom. I've always wondered what that was. KB7ADL

Wasn't it a cloth stuck in an inlet on the ariane-1 rocket that caused the loss of the rocket and the amateur satellite P3A back in about 1980 ? 73 Trevor M5AKA

Center of the transponder
by Andrew Glasbrenner 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Fellow satellite operators, There is nothing particularly magical about the center of the transponder on VO-52 or FO-29. In fact, on FO-29 it is the poorest sounding place in the entire passband. Just because SatPC32 puts you there with the default Doppler.SQF configuration, does not mean every single QSO should take place there. Spread out a little, listen to what is going on, and we'll all make more, and happier, QSOs. I might also add that if a rare station pops up, or makes a habit of operating in one spot, it might be beneficial to call CQ the entire pass somewhere other than the middle of the pile. Even with the previous observations, it is nice to hear many new calls on the transponders. Just remember this isn't AO-51 or AO-27...spin the VFO a bit. I'm looking forward to Funcube and the other new transponders this September. 73, Drew KO4MA
