I was just curious, if anyone on this forum, has used the QRP frequencies, and made a successful contact through AO-51. From what I read, they are 145.880 uplink, and 435.150 downlink.
I have made many contacts when it was active, it's a lot less crowded. They are only running the 145.920/435.300 repeater due to low battery voltage. you can check out the AO-51 Control Team page to get the status of the repeaters on it at: AMSAT - AO-51 Control Team News
