RE: [amsat-bb] AO-40 passband back on

Rick, remember that while 0600Z is 1:00 AM to you and me in the Central time
zone, to Greg (in the Pacific time zone) it is only 11:00 PM. I don't know
about you, but I've been know to stay up a little late to play radio!

Two things.
1.  At 0600 UTC most people, like myself, are comatose.
2.  As the squint approaches the mid to low 20s the passband really thins
out.
     At 30 degrees the probability of having a QSO is remote.  Yes, the
beacon is strong
     but remember that the high gain receive antennas are offpointing 30
degrees and not picking up much signal 73 Rick
