Beacon Status:
Nothing copied since last Friday 26 April.!!
A weak continuous signal (carrier?) with slight Doppler was noticed during the last pass 19:28 19:40 UTC This signal came around the TCA and disappeared around the LOS. Not exactly at the down-link frequency but around +/- 437.200 MHz.
Yes many sky junks around ! , which can be the cause of such a QRM, It may be interesting to monitor this frequency as long as the signal disappeared with the TurkSat3U's LOS.
Another event occurred last Friday, April 26, 2013, 10:39 AM, while I was monitoring Turksat3U I've noticed two CW signals overlap each other!!, The 1st signal was a clear TurkSat3U Beacon; the other signal was an ambiguous CW signal !.You can see the audio analysis at the previous post ..
Mike(DK3WN) identified the source of the other signal as a failed CW beacon of RS-40.
(Thanks Mike for help)

Loop test performed several time ,but nothing heard or seen on the waterfall.
At my previous post Mr.Ahmet Sofyalı from Space Systems Design and Testing Laboratuary of ITU. Had posted a comment stated:
Since Friday (April 26th), TURKSAT 3USAT could not be heard again.
Thanks Mr.Sofyalı for visiting and comment .
Unfortunately this record from Friday, April 26, 2013, 10:39:51 AM
Still we are QRV with great hope.
