PCSat report from Europe

Hello and congrats to the PCSatTeam!
Over here in Europe activity is increasing via PCSat (see list below
from two passes this morning). So far the SAPPHIRE element set
(catalog no. 26932) seems to match best for PCSat's AOS and especially
LOS. It was noticed that predicted uplink power levels doesn't fit to
get any APRS-packet via PCSat. My best success was 25 W EIRPC on 2 m
with an average of 100 W EIRPC. On 70 cm I managed to get 2! frames
digipeated with 9k6 and 600 W EIRPC. Probably the radar pulses
observed on AO-40's uplink interfere with the digital signal. Any
mobile or portable attempt failed so far either on 2 and on 70. Maybe
non-ham QRM on 2 m is too high over Europe (as can be observed on the
Fujis and Pacsats) and whenever UO-11 is in sight of PCSat the uplink
signals seem to become distorted.
By the way, I myself wasn't lucky in copying any signals from
Starshine-3 or Sapphire so far.
73 es good APRS,
Frank, DL6DBN/AA9KJ
