Hello!
If you want to see how footprint looks from 26 degrees east you can have a look on Picture at http://www.amsat.se/
This is very exiting news! Thankyou to all working with it.

I just tried to work AO-73. I can hear the beacon just fine, but no transponder. Isn't it supposed to be on low power? Is anyone hearing it?

Jeff,
It is still in it's normal day/night mode. They are reviewing the data from yesterday's test and will decide if they can put it in full time transponder mode on the weekends based on that data.

It worked fine last night. It's in autonomous mode. The transponder is active in eclipse, not in the sun.

Is that the zero degree horizon footprint or the more usual 10 degree footprint?

Hello Bob!
I just took this satellite footprint at 26 degrees east as an example to show what an amazing footprint we are looking at.
If you look on the outer border of the footprint (in for example) Brazil they have at that line 0 degrees elevation.
The picture is a realley good dreamstarter for future antenna installations! HI!
all the best from Sweden from Hakan SM7WSJ
