SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.
Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Reinhard, DJ1KM, reports:
SO-50 is in good health and it is easy to access the satellite. However,
SO-50 needs to be opened by a controlstation before you can operate theSat.
There are (I believe) 3 controlstations in UK and 2 in DL. I am one of
these. If the satellite comes from a direction where no control station
is it is most probably not switched on.
SO-50 carries several experiments, including a mode
J FM amateur repeater experiment operating on 145.850 MHz uplink and 436.795
MHz downlink.The repeater is available to amateurs worldwide as power
permits, using a67.0 Hertz tone on the uplink, for on-demand activation.
