Hi all,
AO-51 is now running 435.300 at high power, currently defined as 2.05 Watts (as of 2305utc 2March10). The digital transmitter (435.150) has been turned OFF.
Enjoy the big signal!

Yes it was a big signal last night! I have just gotten a Yaesu FT897D set up on the FM sats and was thinking it had the best receiver I had seen yet on 70cm FM until I read this email.
How long will it be on high power?

Except for the occasion where we turn the repeater down to to 500mw to also collect telemetry via the digital downlink, AO-51 will remain with the high power downlink through the 10th, and whenever just the .92/.300 repeater is on the rest of the month.
