Telemetry came thru loud and clear.
Transponder was strong, however I had to correct uplink frequency to about + 4 kHz. at the beginning of the pass. Kept changing too, so at the end of the pass uplink frequency had to be + 5.2 kHz. to hear myself properly; and that is with doppler correction enabled. Normally when keps are correct and doppler is enabled, uplink frequency correction stays stable. Probably 2013-066B not the correct Keps ?
Brief contact with VK5EI, but then lost contact as antennas had to swing around. Also heard VK2ZAZ.

Hi All
Good signals from AO-73 over VK tonight. Stations heard through the transponder were ZL2BX Alan and VK4CBW Wal.

You guys are killing me with all of this. I'm currently without a proper Satellite station. My main satellite station is on a property that I'm not currently living at and is now for sale. I will be living in an antenna restricted neighborhood in Florida when all is said and done. As a consequence of this I have a turnkey antenna satellite system for sale. This antenna system is built on a 8' by 8' platform 4' tall. This platform is made of treated lumber, and is bolted together and can be easily dissembled and moved. The antennas are the large KLM's for 2 and .7m, a 2.4 gig rx, and a Direct Systems 1296 55L looped yagi. I have a complete polarity control system for the KLM's, and a spare set of the polarity control boards that mount on the antennas. Also included is several preamps for 2m 70cm(both Kuhne), a 2.4gig, and a Yaesu 5500 rotor. I will throw in some coax and hardline to complete the system. Anyone interested in the package please contact me off list. I have plenty of other stuff for sale also, email me and I will send you the 20 something page list. I have already sold my 817 pair, and my 847. I still have an Icom 9100 I might sell, but not sure. I still have an unopened in the box Cushcraft AOP-1 antenna system I might keep the 9100 and use with, but the big KLM's have to go as I just don't have the real estate to use them on anymore :-(

G'day Andy, thanks for brief contact and my first on AO-73. Your downlink signal was good and I also heard VK2ZAZ and VK2EVB. I did do some minor uplink doppler corrections during our brief contact but they were very small adjustments. Towards the end of our brief contact your were on the edge of my r.i.t. (+1kHz) then the spacecrafts elevation was to low for me. thanks again cheers VK5EI - Joe
