For the first time tonight, the regular weekly AMSAT net held on 3.850
mhz was "simulcast" on Amsat-Oscar-10 at a frequency of 145.957 mhz.
Signals were good despite the high gain antennas still not being
oriented for optimal performance; the reorientation still has about 50
degrees to go.  I made a tape with the net control station WA2LQQ
"direct" on 75m on one channel and the satellite downlink with its
quarter second delay on the other; it makes for an interesting effect!

Antenna reorientation is expected to be complete on Thursday.
