I will be trying to work ao-51 during the ILLW this weekend (20-21Aug). I havent operated satellites since ao40, which is a little while ago... I will be using the usual an arrow antenna and ft60r. I am having problems finding the frequencies to tx and rx on. It seems that there have been some changes made and different sites give me different frequencies I should be using. I think the Tx is 145.880. I think the Rx frequency is 435.500. Can anyone please give me a definitive answer? I have only just got the antenna and radio working as a unit in the last 24 hours. I will be operating from Cape Schanck, just south of Melbourne Australia, under the callsign VK3EMF. Thanks Joe VK3BKI
Currently and for the foreseeable future we are on 145.88 up and 435.150 down.

How much power is AO51 currently running? It sure sounded good on the 2200UTC pass yesterday-much more solid receive here than I was getting for AO27 or SO 50.
