Announcing EO-79 transponder testing for one full orbit
Dear all,
I would like to inform you all that tomorrow, Monday 4th of may, there is a fairly high chance we will be allowed to test the AMSAT-NL transponder for one full orbit.
Details will be made available on short notice, but we are aiming for an activation starting at ~08:30 UTC and lasting until ~10:10 UTC.
The aim is to characterize the power budget on board EO-79. So we encourage the usage of this new transponder. Please also report the QSOs and signal reports to pa3weg@amsat.org

Great news, Wouter.
Sadly 0830 - 1010 UTC is middle of the night for N. America. But I suspect there will be night owls here to check it out.

I'd definitely be up to try it out, but there are no passes over North America at that time.

Nothing over North America, but let us know if there is any last minute change. You never know who will be up.
