Strange occurrence this morning on Lilacsat,, At 1410 I tuned the satellite and distinctly heard the beacon ,, Then I tuned to the downlink frequency and heard my downlink signal very clear and strong for about 30 seconds after which it completely disappeared and I no longer had contact with the Satellite. Does the Sat shut off after a certain period or was this some fluke of the satellite ?? No other stations were present but my downlink signal was definitely heard !! JACK KC7MG
