Re: [amsat-bb] AO40 APOGEE WAV files

[Bob Bruninga <bruninga@xxxxxxxx>]

AMSAT et al,

I captured 2 more WAV files. and noticed that my Doppler notations in the
previous Email were way off due to using 145 MHz instead of 2401.  So here
is a new summary of all files... In any case, I was tuned to center on my
DSP-12 and did not retune during the 60 second WAV recordings.
