AO-51 appears to live!

October 29, 2007 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

I was going to present a link the cool OSCAR Satellite Status page by KD5QGR because it can be useful for beginners to see which satellites other amateurs are hearing. If you’ll notice, for a long time only telemetry was being heard on AO-51 (the easiest of the LEO satellites), but in the last few hours it appears that people are making real contacts on it. Woohoo! I’ll have to try this out when I get home tonight. I probably won’t try to make a qso, but if I get some audio, I’ll post it here.
