Re: [amsat-bb] RS-13 down?

["Michael Kingery" <mkingery@xxxxxxx>]

Jon,

It has been working fine for the last month and a half that I have worked
it.   Check for the beacon on 29.458 +/-.

I have been uplinking with 50 watts or less into one of Jerry's (K5OE) Egg
Beater 2 antennas.  Downlink I listen with my 3 element yagi.

Had a very nice QSO with KA7EII on the 04:23UTC (12 May) pass last night.
He was using the 15 meter uplink so both modes seem to be working fine.
