[amsat-bb] AO-7 chirping

["Alan W Leech" <alanwl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

21:30z 22 July

Just had a great Mode "B" pass down the Tasman Sea between NZ and our
Western Island, aka Australia.

Must've been too early for them again as nobody else was heard. Anyway,
all was going well, apart from no other takers, till at about 21:20 my
return sig's suddenly started to chop out. On tuning up the downlink
passband I found some real weird "chirpy" CW at 145.550, this as the
bird was going away from me. A quick flick to 145.970 confirmed that the
beacon was still strong and steady, but not sure if the chirpy stuff I
heard was the same cw as the beacon, I only have one SSB rig on 145.

Cheers, 
       Alan. (ZL2VAL)
