[amsat-bb] Fox -1B / AO-91 in trouble?

[Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK)]

Drew,

At 2059 UTC Tuesday, I had a 5-degree pass here in central
Arizona. After almost a minute past AOS, I was able to turn
the satellite on. I talked through it for about 4 to 5
minutes. I didn't hear anyone else, but the satelilte sounded
good for a low pass. I also saw telemetry being collected,
and saw the last packet was received at 2110 UTC - a few
minutes after I was out of the footprint. At least there
will be more telemetry from that pass up the US west coast,
by keeping the downlink on.

Not that the audio may be needed for anything, I uploaded two
MP3s from this pass to the "Satellite_Audio-2019" folder in
my http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/ space - one starting at 2059
UTC, and the other starting at 2101 UTC.

73!
