Here a audio file from the pass over europe this morning. The file is 5.640Kb in size. (29-nov-2009 09:33 CEST)

If you've listened to this file, maybe you can come to the conclusion that using the satellite in a different way would make the change of making a connection more likely?

Hi Jan

It look likes a bit better than what we can hear here...Main problem station overdeviated and out of uplink frequency could be some cannot read instructions on AMSAT-SA web page could be a translation in a couple of language will be helpfull? Just in case someone does not get theses instructions yet here is the link:

http://www.amsatsa.org.za/index.htm

As the signal is very strong could be many stations are trying to get in with less than marginal uplink equipment and the floor/QRM noise is probably due to this?

The instruction to follow:

The CTCSS tone for the transponder is 233.6 Hz.

Uplink: 145.875MHz Downlink: 435.345MHz

Additional recommendations: Use only narrow FM Switch off compression Speak softly (mic gain down)

In french:

Notes d'opérations pour SO-67

Fréquence en montée 145.875MHz Fréquence en descente 435.345MHz

Recommendations supplémentaires: une modulation FM à bande étroite Ne pas utiliser de compression audio Réduire le gain microphonique et parler en réduisant le volume de la voix

Italian

Note d' operazioni per SO-67 Frequenza in aumento 145.875MHz Frequenza in discesa 435.345MHz

Recommendations supplementari: una modulazione FM a banda stretta Non utilizzare compressione audio Ridurre il guadagno microfonico e parlare riducendo il volume della voce

Spanish

Notas d' operaciones para SO-67

Frecuencia en subida 145.875MHz Frecuencia en pendiente 435.345MHz

Recommendations suplementarios: una gradación FM a estrecha banda No utilizar compresión audio Reducir la ganancia microfónica y hablar reduciendo el volumen de la voz

Feal free to add and correct the above translations
