approx. 10 days ON, 10 days OFF
Mode-S Beacon: 2401.500 MHz. ... OFF
UHFBeacon: 435.025 MHz. ... OFF
This from Clive, G3CWV:
OSCAR-11's VHF beacon (145.826 Mhz) switched ON as expected 28 April, and
was
last heard on 30 April 16:04 UTC. Nothing heard on 02 May, and each day
since
then.
Solar eclipses started 27 April, reaching an average 9.7% of orbit time by
02
May. I had been expecting problems during the eclipse season, but not quite
so soon!
I'll be listening for OSCAR-11 from time to time. I would be very interested
in having reports of reception.
