Probably a dumb question, but has a schedule been established for AO92 L-band uplink?
Tnx
Posted at https://www.amsat.org/satellite-schedules/
AO-92 operations are scheduled among the U/v FM repeater, L-Band Downshifter, Virginia Tech Camera, and the University of Iowa’s High Energy Radiation CubeSat Instrument (HERCI).
For the week of 18 – 24 Feb 2018, the following mode changes are scheduled:
Approximately 0200UTC 18Feb we will enable the L band uplink for ~24 hours
Approximately 0255UTC 20Feb we will enable high speed data in order to download from the HERCI experiment for 40 minutes
Approximately 1540UTC 21Feb we will enable high speed data in order to download from the VT camera for 40 minutes
Approximately 0215UTC 22Feb we will enable high speed data in order to download from the HERCI experiment for 40 minutes
All other times the U/v repeater will be open continuously.

Paul,
Thanks for informing, good news, I will be able to make some tests with L-Band tomorrow..
Some infos from this side of the globe.
I will try the L-Band again tomorrow (made a QSO on L-Band with ZS2BK first time it was ON), having the bird for myself for all the pass I will experiment with power etc.., and also have Foxtelem ON.
Both AO-91 and AO-92 are very good. As examples: 1) Today, 3B8FA and myself (3B8DU) made a QSO (most of the pass crystal clear audio) with Baofengs both sides on AO-91, one side an home brew Arrow type antenna and on the other side just a 48cm whip antenna. 2) Just a few minutes ago I could hear myself 59 and decode the telemetry S/N 10 with Foxtelem during a pass of AO-92 with max elevation of 0.3 deg. Superb birds!
On the negative side AO-85 seems to be going deaf, need a minimum power of 15W into a 16 ele. cross yagi to go through sometimes up to 50W (QTH rig), same issue has been reported to me by ZS2BK.
Just an idea: If ever you guys can schedule high speed data/HERCI or VT camera when AO-92 over 3B8, I would be happy to experiment these as anyway when over the Indian Ocean there is no-one except me around…so a quiet place to experiment, it may be useful for everybody...
Have a nice week-end

Seems that the attempt to switch to high speed for HERCI last night was unsucessful (heard Drew say to resume normal transponder use). Is the attempt @ 0215 2/22/18 still planned? Any idea what the issue was?

The rest of the schedule still stands. Tomorrow morning we will exercise the camera on the 1540UTC pass, so having your FoxTelem running and in Auto or High Speed mode would help capture as many images as possible. We could use more stations in Central and South America submitting as well.
