Hi All,
Around 2230UTC 20 Dec 2009 the mode on AO-51 was changed according to the posted schedule as follows:
December 21 - December 28
FM Repeater, V/U Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM
9k6 BBS, L/U Uplink: 1268.700 MHz 9k6 FM Downlink: 435.150 MHz 9k6 FM
The FM Repeater on TXB (435.300) is at about 450mW, while the BBS on TXB (435.150) is at about 500mW. Signals on both transmitters sounded fine. The digipeater on TXB is "ON." We are collecting telemetry (every 30 secs) for the next 24 hours.
Thanks for the S-band activity during the previous mode period!

Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]
As per my Listening on AO-51 it seems a magnet reversal will be done pretty soon to replace AO-51 in his previous attitude feet to head positioning...
