[amsat-bb] AO92 L/V mode??

[Schuette, Martin A]

Personally, I think an alternating schedule of LV being on weekends one week, and during the week the next, could be a good compromise to this issue. As pointed out before, weekends are a common time for people to try out new equipment and I think this applies for both sides. Many potential new ops might not be aware of the existence of such a scheduled mode switch. This would also be useful for hamfest demonstrations as most ops do not have portable L/V gear, and would at least have a couple weekends a month that could line up with demonstrating U/V operation of AO-92.
I do also feel that we should try to put the satellite into camera mode at the very least once a month, I for one like seeing this mode in use, especially in cases of large storm systems and hurricanes.

I stayed up late tonight to work AO92 L/V mode only to find that it was still in L/V mode.Then I got on EO88 a few minutes later and was told that L/V mode would be on Wednesday this week.It would be nice it this information was posted on the BBS BEFORE the weekend gets here.Also why the change anyway?????
