[amsat-bb] AO-16 report from Copenhagen

23 Jan 2008


      Hi all,
Tried it out this late afternoon.
As someone remarked the downlink is strong - but the 
noise level it very high, at least here over Europe.
Made a couple of QSO's on two passes.
My doppler file in SatPC32 is a little different from Drews 
after testing the satellite:
AO-16,437024.87,145920,USB,FM,NOR,0,0
It is just the downlink that is different.
I am using full doppler control in the program.
The downlink antenna is RHCP on this frequency - but 
sometimes it was better with LHCP.
Have fun :-)
