[amsat-bb] EO-79 Report

[Peter Goodhall]

On the 10:00 UTC pass again worked Mike G0MJW who at 20 degrees was S5
then just before it was commanded off at 30 degrees was S9 without any
preamps using Wimo X-Quads.

Fading didn't seem too bad this pass however we both noticed that
there was a big frequency error 5kHz compared to earlier where it
wasn't so bad.

73,

Peter, 2E0SQL
