[amsat-bb] LilacSat-2 FM Transponder at 00:11 UTC, 29-September

[Ted]

2 contacts (Patrick and Kerry, long time no worked !) from CN82 from a very
rusty sat operator. But, this will be a good bird for new operators to get
some contacts. (FYI, just used HRD sat program v6x to tune and it worked
pretty good- pass directly overhead.)

About a dozen stations were heard making contacts on LilacSat-2 at 00:11Z,
orbit # 135.  From my QTH in Texas, EM21, I was hearing stations as far
north as EN37.  This orbit put LilacSat-2 almost directly up the center of
the USA.  I was able to make several contacts using 5 watts and an Elk
antenna.
