[amsat-bb] AO-51 mode L/S over Europe - nice signal

[Fer IW1DTU]

Hi Gould,
 
thanks for your mail and efforts in switching the satellite in mode L/S. 
Now AO-51 is in mode L/S and I just had a nice QSO with OZ1MY and IK1SOW.
 
Thanks

Fer,

I sent the command to switch the input to TX B again on my last pass (12
degrees).

Please give L/S a try.  Due to the mode configuration, I can't get any
feedback on the command reception.

Probably I am wrong and still sleeping but this early morning A0-51 at 05:30
UTC was not in mode L/S according to the published schedule.
Signal in S band was loud and clear as usually but I didn't succeed.
According to some particular QRM it could be in mode V/S - Sorry but at present
my V/U antenna are inoperative due to servicing so I couldn't check.
Any other reports ?
