Here a audio file from the pass over europe this morning. The file is 5.640Kb in size. (29-nov-2009 09:33 CEST)
If you've listened to this file, maybe you can come to the conclusion that using the satellite in a different way would make the change of making a connection more likely?

Hi Jan
It look likes a bit better than what we can hear here...Main problem station overdeviated and out of uplink frequency could be some cannot read instructions on AMSAT-SA web page could be a translation in a couple of language will be helpfull? Just in case someone does not get theses instructions yet here is the link:
http://www.amsatsa.org.za/index.htm
As the signal is very strong could be many stations are trying to get in with less than marginal uplink equipment and the floor/QRM noise is probably due to this?
The instruction to follow:
The CTCSS tone for the transponder is 233.6 Hz.
Uplink: 145.875MHz Downlink: 435.345MHz
Additional recommendations: Use only narrow FM Switch off compression Speak softly (mic gain down)
In french:
Notes d'opérations pour SO-67
Fréquence en montée 145.875MHz Fréquence en descente 435.345MHz
Recommendations supplémentaires: une modulation FM à bande étroite Ne pas utiliser de compression audio Réduire le gain microphonique et parler en réduisant le volume de la voix

Note d' operazioni per SO-67 Frequenza in aumento 145.875MHz Frequenza in discesa 435.345MHz
Recommendations supplementari: una modulazione FM a banda stretta Non utilizzare compressione audio Ridurre il guadagno microfonico e parlare riducendo il volume della voce

Feal free to add and correct the above translations
