AX.25 FD satellites
ANDE and PCSAT will be available for 2 way packet contacts on FD. See the web page:
http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/ande-raft-ops.html
Both operate as digipeaters on 145.825 MHz up and down at 1200 baud AX.25. ANDE digipeats packets VIA ARISS just like the ISS. PCSAT will be using its own default callsign of W3ADO-1.
W3ADO-1 is basically semi-operational, and probably will not work... but may work for very short packets when in the sun.
ANDE-1 should work well, but you should use a small beam to be sure to receive the packets.
Good luck! WB4APR, Bob
Thanks, Bob! I'll make sure I program those frequencies into my TM-D700 for Field day. 73, Jim KQ6EA
