EO-79 transponder activation
Hi all, Wednesday 30th December 2015 - EO-79 activation and pass 1100 hrs - South to North here in Wales -UK. Transponder on and many stations heard very strongly working the satellite. I also heard my own downlink with my usual " ELK " antenna, however I was interrupted by very strong local QRM - We also have lots of rain which did not help. "Wouter -thanks to you and your team for the activation, dedication,time and effort. "HAPPY NEW YEAR " to all and Good Luck for future projects. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat - UK Amsat NA
Hi all,
I am monitoring EO-79 since few days but nothing heard so far.
Beacon is always ok but the transponder seems to be off.
I have followed the 1100 utc pass but nothing up to the satellite was over Spain when I have switched off the radio.

Hi Fabio.
I was monitoring the same pass using a FCD and SDR#
I heard stations from EA DL PA GW and France without problem.
The pass was south to north with AOS (London) at 10:56 and LOS at 11:09
Activity seems to be accurately reported at http://www.amsat.org/status/
