[amsat-bb] Oddity in AO-40 Beacon Today

[Jon Ogden <na9d-2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howday all,

Maybe it's normal, but today I noticed what seems like an oddity in the
beacon.  A couple of times, the beacon went from its modulated carrier to
just a solid carrier.  It just happened right around MA55 or so at 22:36
UTC.  It happened about 15 minutes prior to that too.  Squint is about 26
degrees right now.  It was never a question of losing or not hearing the
tones.  It was just a single, solid tone.

Is this normal?

73,
