Remember "Experimenter's Wednesday" on AO-51 a year or 2 ago?
We now run the "experimental" modes for a ~week at a time.
What about a proposal to the AO-51 command team to set one of the 2 transponders to FM VHF downlink and UHF uplink ( reverse of what is normal ) to do a ISS/SSTV test?
AO-51 only has 435 and 2401 transmitters.
Okay, that will be almost impossible, but for testing purposes perhaps on a specific pass a designated station can be the TX and everyone else can test their RX capabilities.
We are working on this idea already...more to come soon!
