To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-249.01
The Mode L/S Experimenters Wednesday was a success. Reports from
a number of amateur stations indicate that good signals were
copied from the S Band transmitter. The data from Echo shows that
the satellite worked fine and there was enough power to sustain
Echo through Eclipse.
Until next Experimenters Wednesday we plan to run Echo with the FM
repeater ON and the BBS OFF. During this time, command stations
will work on the satellites solar panel power output.
Next Experimenters Wednesday, 8 September, we plan to run a PSK31
test. The satellite will be configured to receive on 28.140 mhz
(10 meters) in USB mode and transmit on 435.300 mhz in FM mode.
Only PSK31 mode may be operated during this test. I personally am
not setup for this mode, so I would appreciate reports of how well
(or not well) this mode worked sent to the amsat-bb.
You can check:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/
for the most up to date scheduling for Echo. I will post any
changes to the schedule on this Web page. If the 435.150 mhz
transmitter is ON then status info is sent in the PBP Broadcast
message as well.
[ANS thanks the Echo Command Team for the above info]
