Same here. Heard it loud and clear including the initial packet and then your signal, but didn't stay up long enough for me to try and work through it. Hopefully in the future the temperature and bird will improve enough to have it back for a while as we once did. Good try anyways!

I heard you loud and clear, Tim! Sadly, it didn't come up very often, and when it did, it didn't stay on very long. Thanks for giving it a shot ;)
Maybe I can give it another try in the next few days...if I do, I'll post to the AMSAT-BB again.
73 and Happy New Year to you!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the heads up, and for turning her on several times that I heard during the pass. It was nice hearing her downlink again, even if only long enough for a quick call and CQ.
Thanks again, and Happy New Year!
Tim

Hello All,
Quick note--I'll be turning AO-16 ON in voice mode during the 2020utc 30 Dec pass. It probably won't stay up very long, but if anybody is around and would like a QSO or two, give it a shot! I'll probably not be on voice, but rather standing by in digital mode in order to start it up when it goes down...
Mode FM Voice Repeater (Downlink is DSB)
Uplink: 145.9200 MHz FM Downlink 437.0260 MHz SSB (pick one! USB or LSB will both work...)
It will be OFF at the end of this pass, most assuredly...
Happy New Year!
73,
Mark L. Hammond [N8MH]
