[amsat-bb] AO73, unsuccessful loop test

[Paul Stoetzer]

That's correct, however the local oscillator in the transponder is not
stable. You need to add between 6-10 kHz to your uplink frequency depending
on the pass (and it varies during the pass as well).

I was busy during that pass, but I'll be on the next pass at 0255 UTC.

73,

Paul, N8HM
