Drew, KO4MA, reports:
We’ve been able to include some L band modes in the AO-51 schedule this month. From the 13th to the 17th we’ll have L/U digital on the 435.150 transmitter, along with the regular FM repeater on 435.300. From the 17th to the 24th, we’ll have a L/U repeater on the 435.150 downlink. On the 24th it’s back to the normal V/U digital and voice configuration.
The 435.300 V/U repeater will remain operational all month, and whenever a digital mode is on, the digipeater will be enabled. Please continue to report digi experiences via the ao51-modes email. If anyone sets up a gateway, please let us know that too.
