Hi Drew, That is much better :-) Worked like last time this mode was on. Just had a pass with AOS at 1241 UTC here in Copenhagen. Two QSO's - SQ7DQX and UA9UIZ. Thanks. 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Glasbrenner" glasbrenner@mindspring.com To: "Amsat-BB" amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 12:51 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] AO-51 mode update
This morning I switched the satellite back to "normal" mode for a bit with the 145.92/435.3 repeater on, set power levels on both 435.3 and 435.15 transmitters to 450mw and 500mw, and reenabled the SSB/FM repeater. I believe the higher power on the SSB/FM repeater running alone was causing some of the interference issues and odd behavior we have been hearing and getting reports about. I did also briefly listen to the 145.88 uplink in FM and there was non-amateur QRM there.
Let me know if this sounds more like the way this mode sounded last time we ran it.
Twitter and the AMSAT AO-51 schedule page also updated.
