Greetings,

See the attached text containing some activity via AO-16 
last night.  I am attaching it as a text file, because it is impossible
to maintain any formatting in an e-mail message these days with 
all the diverse e-mail displays.

Greetings,


There was some activity on AO-16 last night.  In order to digipeat=20
through AO-16 on the uplink, you will need to set your Unproto=20
setting to digipeat via PACSAT-1. =20

Below is an example of my Unproto setting showing the digipeat=20
path to my grid square via PACSAT-1 with two WIDE's after it in=20
case somebody is digipeating the downlinik from AO-16 to the=20
APRS network:

  Unproto  EM64PT VIA PACSAT-1,WIDE,WIDE

  Uplink:  145.94   MHz FM,  1200 bps Manchester FSK=20
Downlink:  437.0513 MHz LSB, 1200 Baud PSK=20



For those inquisitive minds on what the downlink on AO-16 looks
like,  the following text shows a sample of AO-16 ASCII data as I=20
captured it using an old version of Procomm for a terminal emulator.

As you can see there is plenty of room for activity on AO-16.
It is a very quiet bird with lots of room for activity.  For those
who want to experiment this weekend on the uplink, I will try
to have my PSK modem activated to capture a log file if time
permits.
