I was on LilacSat-2 yesterday around 23.30z. My signal was strong on the downlink but there was no one else on that pass. Worth checking it out!

This morning, Glenn AA5PK, and I had a QSO via the experimental transponder activated on LilacSat-2. It was very interesting and fun. A non-inverting mode J transponder was new to me.

Using manual tuning to adjust for Doppler shift proved to be a small challenge as I am more accustomed to operating on a transponder like FO-29. Running SDR in parallel to my Icom IC-9100 gave me a good visual representation of the transponder pass band.

You can listen to a brief clip of our QSO here:
