I have been able to monitor AO-21 (at 145.987) with a HT with rubber duck antenna, but I can't hear the AO-27 with a large roof mounted antenna. According to the STS+ program, AO-27 is supposed to get close to Indianapolis on 4/3/94 at 11:28 - 11:43AM (EST). From the information I have found It's downlink frequency is 436.8 and it uses FM voice. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.

The commercial payload is in use more now. 73, Ron w8gus. ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #80 ******************************
