[amsat-bb] AO-40 Update, 2002-10-07

["Stacey E. Mills" <w4sm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The passbands have been turned off for approximately 8-9 days to conserve 
power as we drift through the worst solar angles.   The beacon will remain 
active.  The passbands will be re-started when the solar angle 
improves.  The schedule will then be shifted to begin pre-apogee, as ALON 
will be drifting past 0 toward 330.
