[amsat-bb] Re: Prospero Commanded Pass Today

[Roger Duthie]

I don't think there is a 148MHz transmitter, though Prospero's uplink is 
148.25MHz.

Also, after looking at your page I think I should say that we think that 
the Coast BBC transmission was almost certainly  an Orbcomm 
transmission.  The Prospero downlink frequency was reassigned to Orbcomm.

Which sound file are you talking about?  There are what claims to be 
original audio files here: http://www.dd1us.de/spacesounds%204.html (you 
need to find Prospero further down the page).
