Hello All,
This morning I turned AO-16 ON in voice mode around 1020utc. The output power is reduced a bit and is reported as 700 mW by the telemetry.
It is possible that it will cease transmitting; any reports that help narrow down an approximate time for such an event will be helpful. Also, reports of its continued operation will also be appreciated.
If you hear AO-16 in voice mode, free to use it. If you hear it "hummmming" in digital mode, please do not transmit to the satellite.
AO-16 Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM AO-16 Downlink: 437.0260 MHz DSB (LSB and USB)
On behalf of the command team,
