[amsat-bb] [ans] ANS-101 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin - Diwata-2 Designated Philippines-OSCAR 101 (PO-101)

[Paul Stoetzer]

>From the AMSAT FM Satellite Frequency Summary at
https://www.amsat.org/fm-satellite-frequency-summary/

PO-101 (Diwata-2)
Uplink FM (141.3 Hz CTCSS) - 437.500 MHz
Downlink FM - 145.900 MHz
FM transponder activated by schedule. The Amateur Radio Unit can
operate either as an FM transponder or APRS digipeater.
See http://phl-microsat.upd.edu.ph/diwata2

I believe operational information will be forthcoming soon. It has
been activated for a few passes over the US on a testing basis.

73,

Paul, N8HM
