Kr hrt!!

The lowering of ALAT is progressing well. We are currently holding ALON at 335-340 and lowering ALAT the last 10 degs toward 0.
We will allow a few more (2-3) orbits for this to occur, to verify our position, and for the solar angle to decrease to below 40 degs. for extra power. After that we will activate the passbands from MA 20 to 140.
As we chase the sun back to 0/0 at about 1 deg/day, the passbands will be lengthened and moved more into the second half of the orbit.
All the best for 2004 from the AO-40 Command Team.

AO-27 active but lots of QRM
Hi all – mostly in Europe.I have monitored AO-27 over three passes this evening and the QRM is much worse than it was a few month ago on the uplink frequency 145.850 MHz.
The first pass over the Middle East was really bad – but the nextover Central and Southern Europe was not much better.The last pass I could hear a few minutes ago – to the west was not too bad.
Seems like we have to start the silent diplomacy again. Please tryto get stations of the uplink frequency.
This shows why it is sometimes difficult to access SO-50. It is blocked by strong stations on the same frequency.
Happy New Year to everyone and thanks to the AO-27 control stations.
