Very FB QSOs with NX9B and K8YSE on AO-73 just a few minutes ago. 15 deg max elevation pass here in Houston...
LOTS of activity on the new satellite!

Yes,
Nice work.
What's the experience on frequencies?
To be at 145960 (at the satellite), uplink is at 435150 (at the satellite). That's about 10KHz off listed specs?

That's what I'm seeing, about 10K high to calibrate .

I needed about 5 kHz high on last nights pass over VK.

Hi Andy, W5ACM
Compare please the actual satellite activity against how much better was the epoch 1982 in wich you and many af us partecipated to your "ZRO TEST" at low squint angle for hours through OSCAR-10 and OSCAR 13
My heart bleeds at seeing many satellite old timers suffer so remembering !

Hi Dom!
Of course it is impossible to compare HEO with LEO, but I am still very impressed with the signals I heard via AO-73 tonight. I could not have achieved DXCC from Houston without HEO HAMSATS. At least for now I am happy that we have a new linear transponder in the sky that work so well!
On the next pass I worked AA5PK, K4FEG, W5AOO and WB0KFC.
It will be a long time before our next HAMSAT QSO Dom...
Until then, we will do what we can with what we have!
