[amsat-bb] Re: AO51 435.150 downlink ?

[Henk, PA3GUO]

Thanks Alan & Andrew for confirming.

As alternative I could use my portable antenna,
but having that in my hands in the garden and
the 23cm uplink in the shack is difficult :-)

Need to wait until AO51 will be in 23cm up and 435.300 downlink.

Until then: thanks !

ps: the 23cm is to prepare for Cute
