Uplink is on 145.905 MHz and Downlink on 437.020 MHz. No tone is needed for access. That is a welcome event when we are facing scarcity of FM satellites after the TEVEL series re-entered the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere. Let us see if we can have a few contacts through the transponder. There seems to be couple of passes tomorrow and the day after in my region.
