Melbourne East/West mix will be 50/50
(i.e. equal priority to ZL and VK6).  Two
passes on June 6 and June 7 have been
elected further away from Melbourne to
especially benefit VK6 and ZL respectively.

Doppler Correction for SO-35 Uplink
The centre frequency for Sunsat's uplink is 436.291 MHz.  The IF bandwidth
is 18kHz, and the receiver has about a 3kHz AFC capability, so you can
probably be up to 9kHz off-frequency for voice.  On an overhead pass, the
Doppler shift at AOS is almost 10kHz, so to be spot-on, you should be
uplinking on 436.281 MHz, and on 436.301 at LOS.  Since you may be on the
side of the pass and get lower Doppler shifts, we suggest you uplink at
436.285 MHz in the first part of the pass, and shift up by 10kHz once Sunsat
has passed overhead.

From the QSL Manager
QSL cards for Sunsat are coming in in a steady flow, from Europe, Japan,
Australia, USA, South American countries, but only one from RSA if I
remember correctly.  Those who want a QSL card must supply a SAE and IRC, or
a SASE for RSA.  Send applications for QSL cards to the QSL manager.
Reports are generally very good, strong signals are reported, and a lot of
appreciation.

Reports on SO-35 to SA-AMSAT
Applications for the Bronze, Silver or Gold awards for contacts via Sunsat
must go to SA-AMSAT.  If anyone is putting RealAudio recordings of Sunsat
passes on the web, please let saamsat@intekom.co.za know, so that we can let
all know where to find them.  The Sunsat operations staff enjoy hearing
repeater operation on the other side of the world!
