Yes, Domenico, but AO-40 gets better in my memory with each passing year. Perhaps that is why it _seems_ like some of the frames I hear from Funcube should decode when they don't.

Hi John, W0JAB
On AO40 you should remember mostly the fading due of spin modulation...... WOW..........WOW.............WOW...... because of rotation of the satellite over the Z axis ! !

I guess I was lucky I dont recall any fading with AO 40.

I haven't done anything with AO-73, but I understand it's transmitting the FEC format I originally designed for AO-40.
How well is it working? What fraction of the frames are successfully decoded? How bad is the fading? I designed my format specifically for the spin fading on AO-40, and if the fading due to the tumbling of a cubesat is too slow my format won't be able to fix it.
