I tried to catch the 1005 UTC pass of AO-85 this morning for data collection. I figured with an 88 degree elevation I couldn't miss. It's perfect for my eggbeater antenna. But, using HDSDR and Foxtelem, I only saw about 3 or 4 short transmissions spread out over the whole pass. I didn't decode any data.
Does AO-85 only transmit slow DUV when there are voice transmissions? Were the short transmissions that I saw the "fast data" stream? Was anyone on voice on AO-85 this morning?
Thanks for your help!
