And we still need good ANDE data from the Southern Hemisphere so we can detect the spin rate. Right now, ANDE is in the dark in the Northern Hemisphere. We need data from the Southern Hemisphere. ANDE only wakes 2 seconds every 16 seconds to listen for activity. IF it hears any packets, then it will stay awake for the next minute. While it is awake, it can be used just like PCSAT-1 as an APRS digipeater by all users. And while it is awake, we will also be able to hear telemetry which is what we need.

Hi Bob, What are the minimum station antenna requirements to trigger/access ANDE? 73, Geoff ZL3GA
