[amsat-bb] AO-7 70cm beacon

[Me <rpe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello AO-7 users,

Just heard something different.  The 70cm beacon was
transmitting a 
strong, continuous carrier.  It wobbled a bit (and went
quiet for
a moment) when it was over the northern part of VK but came
good 
as it travelled south.  I have heard the 'two tone' CW
before but 
this was new - at first I thought it was someone tuning up
nearby.  
Nothing heard on 2m and nothing heard on 10m until it was
south of VK.  
Would it be possible that the 10m beacon turned on? I was 
listening for it for much of the pass (max El of 51 degrees)
switching
between a vertical and a di-pole.

440 440 445 447
