[amsat-bb] AO-40 first day SSB

["Eddy Jespers" <ejespers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Was stand-by at 08:00 UTC. MB on S2 was a
good S8 ( noise floor S0) on my 90 cm prime
focus dish with 2,5 turn helix i made up last weekend.

Ones i saw the matrix changing to U-L -> S1
i was tuning and hearing the downlink signals
very well. 

After a while i lost the telemetry, when it came
back after 3 minutes, i saw the S1 was on with
telemetry as well ! Tuned to S1 MB, was 2 S-units
weaker, probably S1 was using the dish on OA-40.

Had a very nice morning with OA-40, tomorow the
angles are much better for us in Europe, will be
up early HI.

Congrats to the command team, keep up the good work.

Best 73's,
Eddy, ON7UN
