[amsat-bb] AO-51 schedule

[Gould Smith]

Hello All,

We will be testing automatic mode switching on AO-51 for 2 days each week on Wed & Thur this month, except for Dayton week.  The rest of the time AO-51 will be in 'normal' mode.

I will do the first mode switch on an early US east coast pass between 1300-1500Z,  2 May 2007.  The AO-51 schedule for May on the AMSAT web site has been updated.   http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/ControlTeam.php

Enjoy these modes and send comments and requests to the AO-51 Operations Group   ao51-modes at amsat.org
