[FARC] GO-32 Satellite - APRS Operation

Sun May 4 21:30:45 EDT 2008

I'm sharing with everybody!

On my second attempt, I was able to transmit an APRS position report
packet via the GO-32 satellite and receive the digipeated packet for
confirmation.

How did I do it? Well, I followed Bob's directions on
http://eng.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/GO32-ops.html and used my new
Kenwood TM-D710 with the dual band mobile antenna on top of Amy's van.

NE3R-9>3Y2R2Q,4XTECH*:'i6(l ←v/]50W Mobile with 19" dual band whip=

That is my position report as I received it on the satellite's
downlink frequency. The 4XTECH* represents the station that digipeated
my packet.
