The CW beacon is sending an intermittent solid tone lasting 2-3 seconds. The transponder is active during the same time the tone is present. Glenn

Or could it be a problem on the ground somewhere in the footprint de-sensing the satellite receiver? Bob

I was on XW2D at1401 utc pass and experienced extreme intermittent signals on the downlink ! Every few seconds I could hear myself , then would be cut off in mid sentence. K9VSW was also on but had the same problem. I would hear his signal , then he would be cut off as well. Signal when present was strong but there is a definite problem in the satellite JACK KC7MG _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
