It's barely functional. It usually becomes fully operational three times a year (Sept, Jan, Mar) for 2 weeks at a time (when it is in full sun). You might want to get on the amsat-bb to get better info on the status. January is the best time for operations because the best solar panel is in the sun.

144.39?<br><br>NO-44 has a TX on 144.39 as well as 145.825. They simulcast. No receiver on 144.39 as it's pointless from up there anyway.<br><br>73 de Pat --- KA9SCF.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/9/07,

I just spent two weeks in Newfoundland, most of it far away from any other aprs users. A few times a day some satellite would pass over and I would hear, and my d700 would decode (or partially decode) a few downlinks. Some of the stations I heard were VE3FFR, KB1GVR-9, VA3POT, K5VR and a few others.
<br><br>My question is what satellite was this? I saw mention in the decodes of NO-44 and PCSAT but this was with out a doubt 144.390MHz.<br><br>Kevin<br>VA3SU<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________
