Camera Activation on FOX-1D (43137) AO-92 on September 13-14 over North America

I just saw this on AMSAT News Service today about a camera activation on FOX-1D (43137) AO-92 on September 13-14 over North America (See below for the actual announcement).

We should schedule it and see how many images we can get.

To decode the images, download or play the audio file through FoxTelem software set to High Speed Mode (not DUV!).

If we get some, is there a way to manually upload any images to the Data tab?

One day, it would be awesome to have a High Speed Decode option so it happened automatically. :slight_smile:

AO-92 to Try Imaging Hurricane Florence September 13-14

AMSAT Vice-President of Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA says that
the camera on AO-92 is planned to be used to try to image Hurricane
Florence during North American east coast passes on Thursday,
September 13, and Friday, September 14.

AO-92 will not be in its U/V FM voice transponder operation during
these passes. Ground stations should standby and not attempt to access
AO-92 during this time. Voice operation will be available later during
these days.

The high speed image data will be transmitted on the 145.880 MHz downlink.

The image can be captured, decoded, and uploaded to the Fox-1 data
warehouse using the FoxTelem v.1.06 software available from AMSAT:
