Good Afternoon all,
This week we will be doing some a few things with AO-92 out of the ordinary.
First, we will again attempt to image a hurricane (Michael this time) with the Virginia Tech camera onboard AO-92. This will take place Wednesday and Thursday mornings on the passes over the Gulf of Mexico. When you hear me announce the mode change or the command signals on the repeater, please stand by. All stations are encouraged to set up FoxTelem to copy the high speed data during these passes.
Second, at the request of the folks at Microwave Update, we will switch to L/v Thursday night for 24 hours. It is my understanding there will be some testing of new antennas for the L band uplink at their antenna range onsite. I don't anticipate to run L/v on Sunday as normal.
All this is assuming Hurricane Michael stays on track and doesn't swerve east and rearrange or force me to lower my antennas.
73, Drew KO4MA
