If it is still up—- Please only try AO-92 when satellite is in sunlight. No operations while in eclipse, just like AO-91.
Thanks, Mark N8MH

Thanks, Rick. Yes it turned on. Pretty sure it was short lived. People can try it and report, but please don’t get your hopes up :) The battery condition is poor and probably can’t support operations. But from time to time we’ll try!

Early today I heard Mark, N8MH testing the bird. I’m in FN21 portable using 2 Arrow Antennas and an FT-847 and it was S9!! Very solid signal into the northern Pocono area about 30 miles east of Scranton. This was not a high pass for me peaking at only around 22 degrees or so. I wrote to tell him and he said that he was testing it and it seemed to be working though no guarantees that it will continue to work. .
I tried to access it but did not hear my downlink for some reason. Not sure why as I was using the required 67Hz tone. Hopefully it will continue to work at least in sunlight hours.
