I understand that AO-95 has some receive anomaly and commissioning has been stopped for now. I do hope that they can fix it later, Cliff K7RR who it was dedicated to was a great fellow who I met while on vacation in CA.

It could also be that the other signals were from ground stations.

Have a listen on FM on 144.825 plus or minus Doppler. It transmits every 2 minutes in safe mode.<br />I picked it up here in GM no problem.David Anderson GM4JJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308957902320184832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-26847027004940771042018-12-26T11:42:42.069-05:002018-12-26T11:42:42.069-05:00Thank You Bill,
