Dear All,
The MIR-SAT 1 digipeater has been open for the WE in spite not yet tested.
It is a bent tube at 9k6 GMSK, whatever in - same out, uplink 145.9875 MHz and downlink 436.925MHz.
Please try it and I would be grateful for any successful QSO report from it, the first to make it and report will receive a MIR-SAT 1 3B8 national stamp first day cover from me personally.
Good luck

Dear All,
MIR-SAT 1 digipeater: unfortunately the bird went into separation mode (most probably due to a command error) which I noticed some minutes ago. Please accept my apologies.
I will advise as soon you may try again.

I am confused, Jean Marc: The term "bent tube" or "bent pipe" is usually reserved for satellites which do no demodulation of the uplink and re-modulation of the downlink signal. They simple translate a passband of frequencies.
Does the satellite demodulate GMSK and then modulate GMSK on the downlink, or is it a true "bent pipe" (or linear translator)?
Thank you,
