[amsat-bb] AO40 Beacon Heard, 5/16/01

[W6ZQ@xxxxxxx]

Thanks to all the great suggestions on the BB, I was able to rig up my 
Primestar dish with a helix and Drake downconverter. Signals strength between 
MA223-248 (5/16/01) were S3 to S5 with rapid fading. I guess the transponder 
was off as I did not hear any QSOs during that period. If anyone is 
interested, I'll send you a JPG of the dish setup.
