[amsat-bb] My first try on the arissat-1 transponder.

Hello,

I just had a 17 degree pass of arrissat-1 here. On 145.950 FM I heard sstv and international greetings. When the sat was transmitting on 145.950 the transponder was active and I could here myself but the signal was weak. When I couldn't hear myself anymore I noticed the transmisions on 145.950 has also stopped. When greetings came back, transponder was back also. Setup: Yaesu FT-847 with 50 watts. Antennas: 12 element yagi for uplink and 7 element yagi for downlink, both vertical mounted. I made a recording if anybody is interested to hear it. 73, Eric.
