Hello List,
With the recent "resurrections" of old sats lately, I have decided to do some listening for other old sats which might, one day, un-fail. I think that the most likely ones would be Oscar-6 and Oscar-8. According to what information I have found thus far, their original modes of failure were battery-shorts a-la AO-7/AO-40, therfore they might also un-short based on my extremely limited knowledge of their design(assumptions comparing to ao-7) and regain their power supply.
The problem that I am having, is that I can't find much information about AO-6's beacon transmitter frequencies for which to listen. Can anyone here offer some information about the beacon transmitter frequencies used for AO-6, and perhaps any other tech info such as how they might behave without command-station intervention?

Auke,
AO6 beacons were on 29.450 and 435.100....
145.95 in, 29.5 out, bandwidth 100kHz...
Hope u find it!!
