[amsat-bb] EO-79 transponder activation

[David G0MRF]

Hi Fabio.
 
I was monitoring the same pass using a FCD and SDR#
 
I heard stations from EA DL  PA GW and France without problem.
 
The pass was south to north with AOS (London) at 10:56 and LOS at 11:09
 
Activity seems to be accurately reported at http://www.amsat.org/status/

Regards

David  G0MRF

Hi all,

I am monitoring EO-79 since few days but nothing heard so far.

Beacon is always ok but the transponder seems to be off.

I have followed the 1100 utc pass but nothing up to the satellite was over Spain when I have switched off the radio.
