[amsat-bb] Satellite Connection

[Rupert Hamblin]

Hi Greg,

It's difficult to say, I can track the Doppler of the received signal ok,
but as I've never yet received my own signal i'm not sure if that's a
problem...

I've tried whilst on a good pass adjusting the sub tune - but I never find
my signal.

My initial thoughts were either a sub tune issue, or perhaps a problem with
the antenna alignment..?

Cheers
