Hi Fox control team.
I know that the convention these days is to shift Fox 1D/AO-92 to L band
uplink in the early hours of UTC Sundays and then go back early UTC Monday.
This weekend, October 19-21, is Jamboree on the Air, a marvelous
opportunity to showcase Amateur Radio in space to young scouts and adult
scouters. JOTA is from Friday evening local time through Sunday local time.
Since a lot of us who may be running Amateur satellite stations for JOTA, do
not have L band uplink capabilities. I am requesting on these behalf other
JOTA stations, that the control team consider forgoing the weekly switch to
L band to allow more people access to AO-92 passes on Saturday evening and
Sunday morning.
Thanks for your consideration
