[amsat-bb] doppler shift

["Mark Flanagan" <markf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

Sorry for the newbie question.  Please flame me directly, not on the amsat-bb.

 

Am I correct in stating that the doppler shift of a receive frequency starts higher than the actual frequency as it is approaching then continues lower as it going away?  Does the frequency appear to stabilize when the distance from the satellite to the qth becomes constant, even if it is briefly?
