For the first time tonight, the regular weekly AMSAT net held on 3.850 mhz was "simulcast" on Amsat-Oscar-10 at a frequency of 145.957 mhz. Signals were good despite the high gain antennas still not being oriented for optimal performance; the reorientation still has about 50 degrees to go. I made a tape with the net control station WA2LQQ "direct" on 75m on one channel and the satellite downlink with its quarter second delay on the other; it makes for an interesting effect! Antenna reorientation is expected to be complete on Thursday. 73, Phil KA9Q
