FM signals heard on RS-44
There was an FM QSO taking place on about 145.95 just now (about 14:45z) that was coming through the RS-44 downlink at about 435.655. The bird was up toward the Pole, so New England would have been in the footprint, as well as Canada and some northern states to the west. No callsigns heard, but it sounded like amateurs and English was being spoken. -- Mark D.

AO-91, AO-92 anywhere inside the footprint?

Interesting thought .. AO-91/92's downlink being received by RS-44's uplink.
