Jan-Albert,
Thank you and everyone with AMSAT-SA for the wonderful SO-67 opportunities this weekend. I hope the AMSAT-SA Satellite Activity Weekend exceeds your expectations!
73 to all,

Hello
It will be a busy weekend on SO-67 as we intend to schedule the FM V/U cross-band repeater on Sumbandila as listed below (all times in UTC; all activations 15 minutes duration). We appreciate all feedback, which you're welcome to post on AMSAT-BB, or alternatively on the Sumbandila Google Group (http://groups.google.com/group/sumbandila). For progress made during commissioning of the satellite, please see http://sumbandilamission.blogspot.com .

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)
Satellite characteristics: All antennas are linear vertically polarized (1/4 wavelength) Sat Tx power = 5W Sat Rx sensitivity = -116.5dBm for 12dB SINAD Max antenna gain = 4dBi
Note that the satellite is currently in a controlled sun tracking mode with antennas Nadir pointing.
Apologies again for the late notification, but we're still in the commissioning phase and can therefore not guarantee the SA-AMSAT payload service far ahead in time.
