The Narrowband transponder has been switched on for testing this morning. Whilst there are some stations ignoring the request from AMSAT-DL to leave the transponder free for the testing activities, we request that other stations do not join in until the transponder is declared open for general use. However, the increased noise floor provides a good check that you are receiving OK. Dave, G8GKQ _._,_._,_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Groups.io Links:

Graham,
Well noted, AMSAT DL sent many messages about same.
I sent a mail about same subject on the BB earlier. I really fail to understand that some cannot abide to simple rules showing that HAM’s are disciplined and are responsible guys.
Really incredible and those doing so are not really caring for the Ham community at large (to my opinion) but just very selfish to be first to do a QSO without caring to our interest of the community at large.
My one pence input.

Mike,
Heard many stations in QSO today really strong (loud and clear), seems that the bird will be very popular in these low solar times. Also it seems that strong signal with 5-10 watts in 70 cm dish for uplink is confirmed from many, therefore the forecast in terms of power budget seems confirmed so far.
Myself refraining to Tx per AMSAT-DL recommendation (just a question of discipline) but will surely do so by Friday.

Andrew,
Thanks to have shared, was not aware of that communication. And to all who may have been somehow been embarrassed by my comments about the HAM discipline etc. Please accept my apologies for same.
This side no luck, my setup was ready over a year ago and tested many times, today trying to Tx (after your mail) I have a high SWR and cannot access the bird, will have to wait Saturday to figure it out and hopefully make my 1st QSO through the bird.

Congratulations to all!

Listening to some of the stations describe what they are using did not sound overly complex either!

Why are no signals now? Do they turn it off periodically? KD0XX-EM86Rod On Tuesday, February 12, 2019, 11:04:03 PM EST, Joe nss@mwt.net wrote:
I was one of them! What an awesome Bird! Wouldn't it be soo awesome if we could get three up there linked together 100% worldwide coverage.
Listening to some of the stations describe what they are using did not sound overly complex either!

Thanks to have shared, was not aware of that communication. And to all who may have been somehow been embarrassed by my comments about the HAM discipline etc. Please accept my apologies for same.
This side no luck, my setup was ready over a year ago and tested many times, today trying to Tx (after your mail) I have a high SWR and cannot access the bird, will have to wait Saturday to figure it out and hopefully make my 1st QSO through the bird.

Mike,
Heard many stations in QSO today really strong (loud and clear), seems that the bird will be very popular in these low solar times. Also it seems that strong signal with 5-10 watts in 70 cm dish for uplink is confirmed from many, therefore the forecast in terms of power budget seems confirmed so far.
Myself refraining to Tx per AMSAT-DL recommendation (just a question of discipline) but will surely do so by Friday.

It's interesting in the time I've been tuning/listening how many calls I recognized from the AO-10/13/40 days that I've haven't worked in years.

Hi Joe,
Just go to the https://eshail.batc.org.uk/ website which includes a websdr so you can hear all the signals in the nb transponder and see the spectrum of the wb one!
I have just had my first QSO via QO-100 - with Paul M0EYT the transponder is very sensitive...my uplink patch (an old G3RUH one from AO40 days) is held in place with gaffer tape.
As you say "Enjoy!"
