Hi all,
just for the history, last night I was listening for about 2 hours the AO-10's beacon-frequency without succes (I re-installed my 9 El Yagi + GasFet preamp - just for that.).
Nothing heard from AO-10.
BTW it was a weak carrier on .809, however without any doppler-effect and remained there "stable" after the..... LOS of Satellite !
So, it is more than obvious that, it iwas just a "manmade" fake signal from my area.
Therefore, it's very easy to think somebody that it has heard the Satellite, however was it the satellite? I wonder also if the last report about AO-10's receiving is confirmed by other peoples.
I was also looking for the original post of IK2MKE, but I can't find it.
Where - when is posted? Any additional info is appreciated.

PS: the last distributed Keplerians of AO-10 are OK ? according to that the AO-10 tonight is "in range" for Europe @ + - 23:20 (from my Location AOS:17:46 Z, TCA 21:30 /AZ=86-EL=21, LOS=23:22Z).

Hi Chris,
do you have some more details? Frequency? Doppler shift, just a carrier? Does antenna pointing fit with AO-10's AZ/EL tracking, etc?
To answer you question: Yes, it is possible.... There have been similar occasions in the past, but I believe the last report is quite a while ago...

Hi All,
I see that IK2MKE has reported hearing AO-10, any idea if this is possible?
