AMSAT News Service Bulletin 207.02 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. July 25, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-207.02
All user receivers have been tested in the FM repeat mode through TXB.
All worked fine. SQRX had a very nice signal through TXB on VHF. Mike,
KE4AZN, said, "I ran the power all the way down on the FT-847 and could
not tell a difference in my signal through the bird". SQRX was also
tested via an L-band uplink in FM repeat mode through TXB. Echo sounds
very good.
PL tone function testing was not completed, so that will be continuing.
Lately Echo has been sending Telemetry at the quickest rate, which is
every 3 seconds. That data along with a WOD run was used to refine the
attitude determination. From a quick look at the data, Echo's spin is
slowing down, which is a good sign.
So far the command team reports that they have had very good results
with the users giving the room to commission Echo. They ask at the
present time, that you continue to NOT transmit to Echo. Your patience
in that regard up to this point has been appreciated by the command
team.
[ANS thanks Mike, KE4AZN for the above information]
