Re: [amsat-bb] RUDAK testing, Orbit 344

[Scott Townley <nx7u@xxxxxxxx>]

(My NOVA tells me that the Western Hemisphere pass of roughly 03Z 30 July
2001 is orbit # 343.
So, is the transponder ON for Sunday night (local) or off, based on the use
of the word "continue"?

...just getting ready to put up another antenna attempt; at least this time
the dish/helix feed combo swept -22dB return loss instead of -0.2dB!!
