Just tried to worknthe AO-27 pass a few minutes ago but my lil FT-60R and ELK Ant could not cut it. What is the digital signal at the beginnig and end of the pass?
I asked this question after working AO-27 on Field day. There's a data burst right before it switches into repeater mode, and another one when it switches back out. It's related to the timer that turns it on and off on each pass. jim KQ6EA

Hi Jim,
This is the Whole Orbit Data stream, it contains the battery status and solar panel voltages for the orbit.
It can be decoded by using a TNC or via a software TNC...
Thanks,

Yep, the first time we heard it, my son looked at me and said "Packet!". Jim
