Hi Paul,
WB8RJY, VE4AMU and I noticed a weak signal on that pass - just in the noise. Was that you?
Good to know you are seeing the nominal frequency being a bit high as well. More testing is needed. Both of my passes were 5-6 degrees at best. I'd like a good 30 degree pass to check tuning and ERP for best quieting on the uplink.

Mike,
I have noticed being in best 5-10 kHz high too. I only have an HT with questionable frequency accuracy, though.
I had to twist my Comet yagi with 2 meter Arrow elements to get in on that pass and due to the urban noise floor, I lost the downlink, so I wasn’t sure how well/if I was getting in.

I'm wondering what other ops are seeing for Doppler settings on their L-Band uplink. Here in VT - last pass - It was pretty consistently +10 kHz on my FT-736R. I plan to change SATPC32 to use 1267.360 and give that a try. I was using manual VFO mode on the rig, so I had full range tuning - not steps - and could adjust for best quieting.
