Node number 98006. There is a net Wednesday nights too. This page needs to be updated though because it says the net is Thursday night.

Thanks, Walter!
I recognize your callsign from the AMSAT Brandmeister DMR node, which I've recently started monitoring.

Watch me work this new linear satellite HO-113 / XW-3 and talk about
some of
its issues so you can learn how to work it successfully despite those issues.
00:00 My setup 00:48 Demonstration 03:44 Background on HO-113 04:41 weak downlink, high SWR? 06:03 Real reasons for weak downlink 06:48 Deaf receiver 07:28 Noisy passband
On December 25th, while most of the space community was excitedly
discussing
the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launch of that morning, the amateur radio satellite community was also anticipating their own new satellite launching that evening.
On December 26th at 03:11 UTC, XW-3 (CAS-9), was launched on a CZ-4C
launch
vehicle from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China, piggybacked
with
the ZY-1(02E) earth observation satellite.
XW-3 was designated HO-113 by AMSAT a few days after launch.
