Observations and Measurements of Cross-band Repeater, Fri June 23
Fellow ISS Team,
Passing along some observations and measurements taken today which might help you for Field Day.
Rig is a Kenwood TM-D700 running 10 watts (unverified) into a trunk-lid mounted 1/4 wave UHF and VHF antennas, combined using a diplexor. TX freq is 437.800 Mhz, RX freq is 145.800 Mhz. No attempts were made to compensate for doppler frequency shift. Location was BL11dh.
At 5:24 pm local, had a 55 degree ascending pass to the east. The usable repeater time was 1 minute 40 seconds.
At 7:02 pm local time, had a 5 degree ascending pass to the west. The usable repeater time was 15 seconds.
