I was getting ready for a decent AO-73 pass, when it dawned on me that it was daylight, and therefore the bird was in the Telemetry mode. Rather than call it quits, I quickly installed a copy of Funcube Dashboard on my new satellite laptop, changed SatPC32 over to the beacon frequency, and immediately started receiving data. By the time the pass was over (14:04 UTC), I had captured 59 frames (and probably lost 20 or so from the beginning of the pass).
My original laptop stopped uploading to the data warehouse for reasons unknown, so I was pleasantly surprised to see frames going up to the warehouse.
WB4SON | 1723 | 408 |
So that is a total of 1,723 frames uploaded, and #408 in the list of contributors (haven’t uploaded anything in well over a year).
