[AMSAT-BB] Re: status of a few satellites for FD

20 Jun 2021

      So there is a discrepancy between what you say about that JO 97 transponder being active and usable versus what it says on the frequency chart page on the AMSAT site.  I am sure part of it is because the developers of that particular satellite have never actually announced that it’s open for use, even if it is.
Which brings up another point, the frequency chart available to AMSAT members, Should we be expecting an update on that soon?  Also should there not be an update for the “getting started” book coming soon?

JO97 works nicely right now on SSB.  EO88 works fine when it is in eclipse.

I actually did have a chance to get out and practice/play some this
afternoon.  Did get some of my questions answered.
XW-2D is still in the mode where it is on for two seconds and off for 5.
Might be fun to see if someone wants to try making FQ QSOs in that mode.
Satellite is nice and strong for those two seconds.
XW-2C is again fully functional.  It was acting like XW-2D earlier in the
year which is why I asked.
AO-73 is in transponder mode.  Drifty as usual, but I did get in but could
not complete a QSO.
ISS FM was not active today, but most likely that is due to prep for an EVA
I think is Tomorrow.
I got the satellite package a good test today.  Hope to see many folks on
the birds for FD.

You would think that this kind of information would be on one simple page on
the amsat web site....

I need a little catch up on some status issues.
After being off the sats for maybe 7 years or so, I began to get ready to
try them again.  Lately I have been looking for this information but also
listening off and on to see which ones are used regularly.  So far my list
says...
AO7 - SO50 - ISS - XW2A - XW2C - XW2F - RS44 - CAS4A - CAS4B
