MESAT-1 Transponder turned ON

The transponder of MESAT-1 amateur radio satellite has been turned On for the weekend. Many are reporting strong downlink signals. I tested during a 29 deg pass over my QTH as well and I was amazed at the strong downlink of my CW CQ call.

Transponder uplink: 145.910-145.940 MHz Transponder downlink: 435.810-435.840 MHz

I set my uplink on 145.925 MHz and started calling CQ, scanned the downlink band to find my signal. I used two radios, FT991A for uplink and Icom 705 for downlink. Hope this helps!
