Re: [amsat-bb] AO-40 carrier?

[K5OE@xxxxxxx]

If you hear a faint carrier, check to see if AO-10 is above your horizon.  
There is a low-level carrier on AO-10 that drifts from 145.910 to 145.890.  
It is especially noticeable when the bird first enters sunlight.  I have 
never known whether this carrier is generated by the satellite or is from 
some 70 cm signal getting into the transponder.  The frequency change is 
faster than would be accountable by Doppler shift.

I've also noted a strong carrier (S9+) in the middle of RS-13's passband 
lately, around 145.885 MHz.  I am not able to hear a 15 m signal at the same 
time that may be causing this, but it does move with the appropriate Doppler 
drift.  It dissappears when the bird gets above 50-60 deg. lat., indicating 
the signal probably emmanates from Central America.

It would be nice if somebody politely reminded our fellow sat ops on AO-10 
that there are people listening for AO-40 in this frequency range....

Happing signal hunting!
