25 degree pass off to the west; worse than last time. Never even found a hint of quieting. Back to the drawing board..

Well, I think I heard myself on the last pass. At least I heard an occasional change in static. No voice traffic, however. Anybody else have any luck? I made some changes to the antenna over the weekend; seems like it didn't help.

Got another pass in about 30 min...

Hi Bruce and BB,

I redid the L/S mode on AO-51 during the last pass 0100Z and finished about 3/4ths of the way through the pass.

I thought I heard a station calling CQ as the pass was fading from East TN. Telemetry data said everything was working.

Reports welcome.

Anyone on the BB having success in the current mode. I have not been

able

to copy any D/L activity on S-Band. Maybe my new Keps S/U downconverter is not working.

Hi Angelo,

Thanks for the confirmation! I really appreciate it.

When the satellite is in the unusual modes, it's hard to know if you aren't hearing it, or nobody's on, as there are many passes that would be otherwise empty. I hope I didn't QRM too many of you.

Next pass in an hour... I'll do more listening this time, and try playing with the directional controls.

Hello Greg,

I heard you find last night. You were loud and clear but I guess you were not hearing the downlink when I was calling you as well.
