[amsat-bb] RE: Chirps on 145.8986 mHz

[David Reinhart <wa6ilt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

See below from Bill.

Now that he mentions it, I've been leaving my 2m rig turned on and the
antennas pointed at the predicted location of AO-40.  I've been leaving
the squelch turned up but every so often a burst comes through that
might be the same thing Bill mentions.  My DSP-2232 with the new
software modem is plugged into the rig but it hasn't caught anything
yet.

I have heard some short duration "Chirps" on 145.8986
at 22:39 UTC...has anyone else heard this signal?  They
were S-5 here with a Hamtronics downcoverter into an
ICOM 756.  I could also see the signal on the scope, but
the duration was so short I could not determine what kind
of signal it was.  It did sound like a really short packet
burst.  It is now 23:56UTC and have not heard it anymore, so
maybe something local.
