The signal popped up out of the noise at 14.45 UTC and was heard by ZL3MG in CHRISTCHRCH at the same time and by other ZL's. The signal was very weak and faded into the noise at times so some of the tlm data should be read with caution. I will send the last frame separetly as it is a hex dump. The above was typed in by hand at 4am local time so there may be some operator errors too.!!! Looks like a "good bird" to me. VY best wishes from all in ZL. 73 Ian ZL1AOX. Posted: Thu Jun 16, 1983 6:01 PM PDT Msg: EGEL-1581-8040 From: TCLARK To: amsat Subj: Let's congratulate ourselves! Thanks to all for your support over the past three years. Today's success meant a lot to me personally, as I know it did to the others who have have spent a lot of long hours to bring "Phoenix from the ashes". The messages of congratulations were most appreciated, but you really should be congratulating yourselves -- it was you who did it. AMSAT had to mortgage its future in order to make Phase-3 "happen" today. We still have a lot of hard work to make the spacecraft operational. But we also have a lot of hard work in front of us in order to capitalize on our successes if we want more spacecraft to happen -- Prosthelize the masses of amateur radio in order to get them into the fold as dues-paying members and donors. If you need any help on preparing programs for meetings and conventions, PLEASE contact Bill Lazarro at AMSAT HQ for support. Again -- thanks for all the help and lets keep the momentum going full-bore.

I now tend to believe these elements, as they predicted an AOS here 6 minutes earlier than the Goddard set. We did indeed get AOS earlier.

This error is noted with AMS-81, W3IWI and HP-41 systems all of which generate very similar tracking data. We noted AOS at 2259-2300 ( exact time not noticed in the excitement and due to the fact we thought we still were 7-minutes away from AOS ) while all three systems predicted 2307. If this was a true AOS then there is a 7-minute error. If the beacon had already been commanded into the 20-on 40-off mode then what we heard was the beacon firing-up and actual AOS was even earlier. Would all of the above indicate the Keplerian elements are suspect? Thanks for your part in today's fantastic events!! 73, Ralph AOS CLI TERMINATING 17-JUN-83 3:10:59
