Hi Ken,
Thanks for your report. We believe the signal fading is higher on this satellite as its spin is quite slow and it has a monopole antenna. So maybe you have observed the antenna null. We can not be quite sure just yet.

Hi , Further report EO-79 from here in Wales 1000 hrs pass ( aprox) . I hear Peter ( 2E0SQL ) and Mike ( G0MJW ) both 5/9 but again with noise. As they checked out with one another at 1005 hrs zulu - Appeared to lose any activity, I was not expecting to shut down on the transponder until 1010 GMT as per schedule. Not able to get into the transponder for some reason. My gear is OK and I am accessing AO-7 and FO-29. Strange also using the same transponder frequencies as AO-73 ?? Well done once again to those involved. Ken GW1FKY
