Testing AO-92 satellite

It was warm enough and dry enough last night to get out and try our latest new satellite FOX-1D (AO-92) The satellite is still in testing and this was the first day that they allowed amateurs to test the onboard FM repeater.

Fist contact for M0JFP  was at 8PM and he worked 2M0SQL and a few others.

Using the FT-8900 and manual stepped tuning

You can have a listen to the recording here

The second recoring a little later at 9:33PM this time using the FT-847 and sat-PC-32 to control doppler and again fantastic results which you can listen to here
