[amsat-bb] Strong sigs from AO-10

["Tony/AB2CJ" <ab2cj@xxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all

OSCAR 10 seems to be in good shape...the beacon was  5-7 at times, at a
range
of 35,000km. ( antenna =20x2 + pre-amp)

Experimented with SSTV a little, copying my sigs on a small tape recorder
and then
playing the tones back into the soundcard.  As expected , the pictures were
marginal
at this near apogee altitude... images should be much easier to capture when
AO-10
is closer in range.

Looking foward to SSTV activity on AO-10... hopefully the good condx will
hold for a
while.

73, Tony
AB2CJ
