AMSAT - Satellite Status

AO 27 and SO 50 are the only FM sats left working now and they transmit and receive on the same frequencies with SO 50 needing a tone on the uplink. AO 27 is only available on ascending passes in the northern hemisphere for 7 minutes about when it crosses 30 degrees North latitude

If you are going to try working the satellites, let me give you a word of advice, DO NOT TRANSMIT UNLESS YOU CAN HEAR THE SATELLITE, and open your squelch. check out this site for recorded satellite passes and some info on working the birds. General Satellite Recordings

Ya but Dave, the self proclaimed Satellite Instructors might disagree about full duplex, they would rather you QRM the bird than hear yourself or anyone else for that matter.. :bdh:
