sats to hear from Fairbanks
We will be putting in a new UHF ground station in Fairbanks next week and would appreciate any suggestions as to what sats to listen for when testing the downlink capability. 435 - 437 or 450 downlinks. They need to be polar-ish, Fairbanks is 64.8N.

The 435.350 MHz FM downoink on PSAT PSK31 is often on, though someone needs to be transmitting on 28.121 MHz with PSK31 in order for the transponder to come up. But that is the terrestrrial PSK31 frequency so really all it needs is ANYONE to be on 10m PSK31 and it will be up.

Jim, Another good one is always SO-50 downlink. 436.795 adjusting for doppler of course. It is usually off on the descending passes coming over Alaska. When I am on I will turn it on upon AOS in Spokane, WA. My station is torn apart right now so hope to be back up and running by this weekend.
