[amsat-bb] AO40 Orbit 778

["i8cvs" <domenico.i8cvs@xxxxxx>]

Hi All,

During orbit 778 at MA 116 the L1 transponder was not switched OFF
and it continued to operate regularly in L1 band up to MA 120

Surprised i  found no change in schedule in Amsat-BB  or in AO40 M blocks

At MA 120 the VL transponder was switched ON and i noted  more than 6 dB
increase of the noise floor on my panoramic receiver due to the noise added
by the 2 meter receiver.

There was no operation from  V band uplink during the above VL session from
MA 120 to MA 128 but the S2 downlink S/N ratio coming from the L1 uplink
was highly degraded because of  the noise added by the V band receiver
