[amsat-bb] AO-51

["KC6UQH" <kc6uqh@xxxxxxx>]

I thought I would try AO-51 this weekend, made space and installed keps.
Looking on the Amsat web page AO-51 is in the V/S mode in November.
For the Holliday weekend it will be in the normal mode.
SO WHAT MODE IS IT IN?
I thought I could try my newest S Band down converter this weekend and I
could assume that normal mode is V/U for FM Voice? If I receive something
back in time to set up for the 04:10 GMT pass I might try it, otherwise it
will be after Christmas before I get a chance to try it again. Bulletins
that are not specific on Satellites can be missleading and not even knowing
what to set up for does not inspire participation. I most likely will
allways do portable setups unless I find that perfect home on a mountain top
without trees.
