"It can be done!" AO-27, 145.850 MHz FM up 436.800 MHz FM dn AO-27 is only a part time amateur satellite FM repeater, weekends ONLY! During amateur usage, its on solar panel engery only. This means the satellite needs to be on the sunny side of its orbit (daytime at your QTH). Be sure to adjust for doppler shift. At the beginning of the pass, start listening around 436.805 to 436.810 MHz and tune downward as the pass proceedes. At the end of the pass, you will be tuning around 436.760 MHz Tom WB7ASR... ------------------------------ Date: 28 Oct 1994 03:38:03 -0400 From: n2oto@aol.com (N2OTO) Subject: RS-10 and license classes In article <35sj04$al3@solaris.cc.vt.edu>, billkuhn@vtaix.cc.vt.edu (Bill Kuhn) writes: It is OK for you to use RS-10 with a no code licence.
