Re: [amsat-bb] When exactly was the mode chyange on AO-51?

["Andrew Glasbrenner" <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In general the mode changes occur on the first pass in view of the east 
coast. Keep in mind high speed data sounds a lot like noise...you may only 
notice a subtle change in tone if you aren't watching the S meter.
