AMSAT News Service Bulletin 005.03 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. JANUARY 5, 2002
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-005.03

Stacey Mill, W4SM, provided the following update on AO-40's operating
schedule.  "The power budget allows us to extend the passband time by 10
MA's on each end and we have activated the 24 GHz K-band transmitter.
>From MA 126 to 128 both the S2 and K middle beacons only will be active.
>From MA 128 to 132 both the S2 & K transmitters will be active on the U/L
uplink passbands." Stacey said.  He continues, "The last time the K-Tx was
active, it was noted to have suffered a partial power loss suggesting that
one of the output transistors may have failed.  We will monitor its function
to
see if this condition has changed."  Stacey also requested that K-band
successes and failures be reported to the AMSAT-BB.

Stacey also noted that, "We are holding ALON/ALAT at nominal 0/0, but ALAT
has been drifting slightly positive (~1 deg), which will slightly favor
northern hemisphere users."
