Hi Mak and Rob, I just had a pass here over Copenhagen with max elevation of 86 degrees. I were able to hear myself using 70 W to my normal 2x19 element antenna - but very faint. I also heard a CW station. Conclusion - it is on but very difficult to use unless you have a lot of power for the uplink (more than I have). Have a nice weekend all 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: "SV1BSX" sv1bsx@yahoo.gr To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 11:33 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Status DO-64?
Hi Rob,
I agree. Today morning I tried at 08:02 - 08:10Z, Orbit #2252,
excellent
pass for my location.
As you pointed out, I also heard the beacon with a true 559 on CW (Hi Hi DELFI-C3), however it was impossible to access the transponder.
So, your note is correct.
73, Mak SV1BSX

Hi All,
Er there station making qso's on DO-64? Last 2 weeks I tried serveal
times
but I can't hear my signal on the transponder. It looks like the transponder receiver is not working. I can hear the beacon and transponder noise very well.
