I see a couple of earlier passes that look good from my QTH (Birmingham, Alabama) so I’ll give them a try before shutdown pass.

Good signal on the last pass this morning.

Hi Jim, glad you're giving it a go on the air! I just checked passes for tomorrow (remember, they come 30 mins earlier every day!). I see a good pass about noon time Eastern time, so that'll be the one I'll try to catch to turn OFF the TX.

Mark,

Wanted to let you know I acquired the Falconsat-3 signal on two passes this morning.

The first pass was tracking only and on the second I attempted to make contact but failed due to configuration problems between Chris’s program, Direwolf, SignalLink and the receiver.
I might do something profound tonight like read the manuals!

I’m not certain if the satellite will shutdown before tomorrow morning passes but I will be listening.
This is the first time I’ve tried this combination and the result is not unexpected.
Over the week I’ll dial it in better for next weekend.

Thanks very much for activating Falconsat-3.
