[amsat-bb] Re: Looking for sats with beacons on 2 metres for antennatest this weekend

[Ib Christoffersen]

Hi Jim,
VO-52 is OK with the Dutch transponder on and the corresponding beacon at
145.862 MHz.
Passes late afternoon and evenings (or early mornings).
The frequency may vary 1 to 2 kHz.

2 meter downlink antenna is LHCP.

Good luck and have a nice weekend.

Emne: [amsat-bb] Looking for sats with beacons on 2 metres for antennatest
this weekend

Hi Folks,

  Has anyone got any ideas which sats would be good to listen for this week
end on two metres; we will be doing some antennas tests.

  The list I've compiled so far is surprisingly small, eg ISS, Delfi C3.

  I dont think UO-11 is audible at present (in eclipse), and I think all of
the following are not now available for one reason or another.: FASTTRAC 1
and 2, VO-52, NO-44

  I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of other sats we could listen for
on 2 metres.
