Re: [amsat-bb] 1269 power???

["Mark L. Hammond" <mlhammond@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perry,

What you putting the 10 watts into?  I've used 10 watts through 75' of 9913 to a 20 turn helix and made a few contacts on AO-51.

Did you double check PL tone (oh, not necessary during this period) ?  Uplink frequency?  Adjust for Doppler?

It is marginal, but should work---well, it has in the past anyhow.  I was not able to attempt the pass last night, and doubtful I can today (depends on the 1st evening pass and how long the bird stays in this mode!)

Experimenter's Day is just too short :)

73,

Mark N8MH
