Re: [amsat-bb] AO-40

["Jens Spiess" <jspiess@xxxxxxxxxx>]

...Same signal detected and observed from utc 14:48 h up to LOS utc 15:20 h
!
Characteristics sounds like carrier-PSK,sometimes sounds like
telemetry-characteristic.
BUT ABSOLUTLY WEAK,VERY DEEP IN NOISES AND QSB...and
a lot of QRM from AO10 operators around 145.898 +/- doppler.

AO10-operators..!
PLEASE LET`S HAVE A FREE WINDOW,WITHOUT ANY ACTIVITY
AROUND 145.900 Mc +/- 10 Kc .
The AO10 transponder-passband give more as enough other wide range for
use...!
Thanks for cooperation.

Hopeful...
