... yes Thomas, "damned" incidence !
IO-26 has same frequency & just the same footprint today with FO-29!!
I apologize but as I said on my message:
"Don't *shoot* me if I'm wrong."
DUM SPIRO SPERO (=While I breath, I hope) my friends...
73, Mak SV1BSX
ps: tks also to Masa JN1GKZ... he noticed just the same about IO-26.

Hello Mak
It could be the BPSK-beacon from IO-26 at the same frequency !

Hi all, don't "shoot" me if I'm wrong, but I think FO-29 is back!
Today 26 April 2006 between 14:10-14:16 UTC (#52.792 orbit) I HEARD (!!!) a continue carrier
in
FO-29's beacon frequancy !
I was starting to monitor the frequency with a
delay,
I forgot this time the pass of Satellite (every
day I
monitored it.)
Well, the Sat was over Libya (N.Africa), close to
me
with 32 Degr. Elevation, in very good range for
me.
Looking for any activity I tuned my receiver to
Beacon
frequancy and... what a surprise!
I received a strong carrier arround 435.799. The carrier was following the usual
doppler-shift, so
after 6 mins dropped-down to 435.788 MHz !! That is very normal and confirmed to me the Satellite signal!
At this point my QTH has no clear horizon (340
degr.)
even if the Satellite was high enough, at 24 degr. Elev. So after 1 min I lost the signal completely.
Please keep monitoring the FO-29 and send your reports. May be FO-29 is back again !
73, Mak SV1BSX
