Assunto: [AMSAT-BB] Re: MESAT1 Transponder ON for testing 0135utc 24 Aug 24
Sorry, fat finger sent before finished!
Hello Operators! Around 0135utc tonight we commanded ON the transponder onboard MESAT1. Quick test QSOs between Drew KO4MA, Paul N8HM, and me (N8MH) are encouraging. Chris G0KLA monitored telemetry using FoxTelem during the pass. All indications are
good. We hope that the satellite health continues to look good through the testing. We expect to continue the test through the weekend.
Please use the transponder while it is on! The frequency information is:
- Telemetry downlink: 435.800 MHz 1200 baud BPSK
- Transponder uplink: 145.910-145.940 MHz
- Transponder downlink: 435.810-435.840 MHz

Happy testing! Please report back to the BBS as you can.
On behalf of the command team,
