["Nicolaus Sallay" <n.sallay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello to All and Good Morning;

- I would like to recall the situation I monitored the day before yesterday
at 12.24 LT. (16.24 UTC), when ISS passed over FI96 a 10 min. pass
with a excellent elevation, reading ISS 59+ and I called it Jamming.
At the uplink I heard nothing only on the downlink , undecodable packets
and from time to time CQ NOCALL UI ETC, signal not placed by me.
As the " QRM " sustained over the complete pass, my concern is/was
related to TX overheating and damaging. Francisco reported similar
"QRM" , as I recall. As at the present time we do not have any official
word, I hope a simple reset will make it and that the equipment has only
been switched off due to ISS maneuvers

Best Regards
Nicolaus Sallay - PP8DA
