PSAT2, ISS Sat Gate needed in Central America
PSAT2, ISS Sat Gate needed in Central America.
See the coverage map for the APRS satellites on 145.825. There is a hole in Central America where the telemetry from these satellites can go for almost three full orbits and not be captured. All the rest of the world is covered.
Coverage Map: http://aprs.org/psat2.html
We'd like to fill that hole!
Contact wb4apr@amsat.org
Thanks Bob, WB4aPR
There is a guy in Trinidad (Tobago) that iGated pSat on 145.825 MHz earlier this week. https://twitter.com/MachaleRobert/status/1121928696611237889
He iGated 484 pSat telemetry beacons last year. Let's reach out to him.
