Greetings everyone,
Not really LF, but QRSS...
A group of radio amateurs from AMSAT-DL has successfully transmitted a (very
short) message in QRSS, consisting of the two letters "HI" (im memoriam of old
OSCARS) to Venus on 2.4 GHz, and received the reflection.
Each TX/RX over lasted for about 5 minutes (the travelling time). The
transmitter was a 5 kW magnetron disciplined to a narrow-band transmitter.
Details on the AMSAT-DL website. The German HR TV will send a documentation
tonight at 19:30 (local). The EVE (Earth-Venus-Earth) details follow tomorrow
on Hessischer Rundfunk.
73,
Wolf DL4YHF
(from the IUZ in Bochum)
