[amsat-bb] HO-68 27Dec2009 1527z North America

[John Papay]

A recording of the HO-68 pass, 27Dec2009 at 1527z
over North America is on my webserver.  This was an 82
degree pass for me and the bird was copied well from
horizon to horizon.  The first packet was received within
one minute after AOS and the last packet was within  a minute
of LOS.

I was not at home for this pass.  SatPC32 did all the work.
The receive antenna was set for Left Hand Circular Polarization
which seems to work better than right hand on average.  Signals
were strong throughout the pass.  FM Voice and packet seemed to
interrupt one another and it was hard for some to make a complete
qso.

These are the packets decoded during the pass.  The date/time
stamp was inserted by the TNC to show when the packets were
received. It was not sent from the satellite:
