Nothing copied since last Friday 26 April.!!
A weak continuous signal (carrier?) with slight Doppler was noticed during the last pass 19:28 19:40 UTC This signal came around the TCA and disappeared around the LOS. Not exactly at the down-link frequency but around +/- 437.200 MHz.
Yes many sky junks around ! , which can be the cause of such a QRM, It may be interesting to monitor this frequency as long as the signal disappeared with the TurkSat3U's LOS.
Another event occurred last Friday, April 26, 2013, 10:39 AM, while I was monitoring Turksat3U I've noticed two CW signals overlap each other!!, The 1st signal was a clear TurkSat3U Beacon; the other signal was an ambiguous CW signal !.You can see the audio analysis at the previous post ..
Mike(DK3WN) identified the source of the other signal as a failed CW beacon of RS-40.
(Thanks Mike for help)
Transponder status:
Loop test performed several time ,but nothing heard or seen on the waterfall.
At my previous post Mr.Ahmet Sofyalı from Space Systems Design and Testing Laboratuary of ITU. Had posted a comment stated:
Since Friday (April 26th), TURKSAT 3USAT could not be heard again.
Thanks Mr.Sofyalı for visiting and comment .
Unfortunately this record from Friday, April 26, 2013, 10:39:51 AM
Still we are QRV with great hope.
