AMSAT News Service Bulletin 054.01 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. February 23, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-054.01
The AO-40 team plans to test the S1 and S2 receivers with the K-band
downlink on Sunday, February 23rd from MA 162 to 170 ( UTC ~19:26 to
~20:01). This will necessitate switching OFF the S2 Tx during this time.
As is currently scheduled each orbit, the S2 Tx will be on, beacon only,
along with the K-Tx during the 160 to 162 window. However, from 162 to 170,
the S2 Tx will be off and only the S1 and S2 receivers, plus beacon, will be
connected to the K-Tx. Stations with K-band reception are invited to
monitor the tests. Normal passband operation should resume after MA 170.
If weather or technical problems are prohibitive, we will reschedule.
Because this is a single event test, the N-blk will not be modified to
reflect this test.
[ANS thanks Stacey, W4SM, for the above information]
