Day 8 (MET): Last opportunity to see the live signal from #Artemis-2 / #Orion with the 20m dish in Bochum. After listening to the #Apollo Missions over 50 years ago, it was a great honor for #SternwarteBochum and #AMSAT-DL to be officially part of the #NASA challenge to provide Doppler measurements.

#AMSAT #QO100 Unfortunately some people are starting to using the NB for LORA transmissions, which exceed the 2.7kHz bandwidth. See below with different spreading factors. ** This is a violation of the NB transponder bandplan, please move to the WB transponder! **
