Subject: Oscar 10 questions
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
Question #1:
The Satellite Experimenter's Handbook says not to use Oscar 10 if the beason
doesn't transmit a pure tone. On Sunday night the beacon sounded very
distorted. As an experiment I tried sending a CQ in the passband and could
hear myself on the downlink loud and clear. (nobody else was on the
satellite)
Question #1:
Is it really true that I should avoid transmitting to Oscar 10 when the
beacon does not transmit a pure tone?
Instant Track indicates that the Oscar 10 antennas are almost always severely
off-pointed from earth (more than 90 degrees most of the time)
Question #2:
Are the Oscar 10 antennas omnidirectional enough to allow reliable contacts
when the offpointing angle is large?

While you're at it, also ask for the Help and Index files. Just put
"quit" as the last command.
Hope this helps.
