AO-27 reportedly heard this afternoon in California
K6CMG reported on the HAM-SATs reflector that he heard people talking on AO-27 during a west coast pass around 2130Z today. I checked and AO-27 was the only amateur satellite over his location at the time. Has it been reactivated? There has been no update on the AO-27 website since October 21st.

I have my rig turned on all the time to the AO-27/SO-50 downlink and alI have heard so far is SO-50. Remember that SO-50 shares its pass at times with AO-27 and can be heard at about the same time.

SO-50 was over the South Atlantic at the time.

It was pointed out to me that SO-50 was over Antarctica at the time.
I listened yesterday afternoon to an Eastern pass and didn't hear anything.
