RS CW Robot

21.129 uplink 29.454 downlink

CW Robot Procedure- Listen for Robot CQ on 29.454, then when CQ stops, transmit on 21.129 making "dits" until you hear yourself through the robot. Then send "RS12 DE WB6FZH AR" (substitute your call for WB6FZH). Then, listen for "WB6FZH DE RS12 QSO# 1234 OP ROBOT TU FR QSO"

Satellite Configuration Note- RS-12/13 are on a common spaceframe with navigation and communication satellites. Launched February 1991, LEO about 1000 km. RS-12/13 combined K/A and K/T modes are also possible too!

NOTE: WB6FZH/KH6 and WB6FZH (CA) have used for HF: TenTec C-21, TenTec 505 and Icom IC-735 to work the RS Satellites. FT-101f with FV-250 transverter, and FRG-8800 with converters has been used on 2m and 70cm bands all mode reception with various antennas.
