which bird is working and when.
It is now 22:25UTC, trying to get on AO-51, looks like it is down also,
from
the AMSAT status page, has anyone heard it today? I am assuming that its
base downlink frq 435.300 as I've got an old ARRL frequency guide that
shows
it as 435.225.
Sorry for all the traffic...

Hi Michael!
I am having a problem hearing the downlink of any
SSB satellites on 440.
<snip>
It is 21:10 UTC and I just finished trying to work FO-29 from CN87 (20:59
to
21:17), and again no luck. I sent my call out on
145.950, but nothing
back.
Checked the ARRL satellite tracking site and it
appears I have the
correct
keps installed. I went outside and checked the
bearing of the antenna.
Seems ok.
FO-29 is currently off. Since it was the only current SSB/CW satellite
with
a 70cm downlink, we will have to hope that FO-29 can be reactivated in
the near future. Otherwise, there's VO-52 with a 2m downlink and AO-7
with its alternating 2m and 10m downlinks if you're trying to work SSB,
or you can try for the transponder on ARISSat-1 (70cm up/2m down).
If you want to work FM, you have AO-51 as well as AO-27 (afternoon
passes only) and SO-50 that are available - all with 70cm downlinks.
73!
