There's nothing in the SOE or DSN schedule to indicate that MEX was being tracked before 1400 on day 101. There's nothing but noise in the data; so I have removed the file from our collection.

Input levels to the A/D are about - 16 dB with respect to the maximum range and SNR is 50 dB/Hz. There are weak spurs at about +/-180 on either side of the carrier. There is a 8 dB amplitude spike a few seconds before the signal disappears. There are no sidebands on the carrier at occultation; sidebands are common (but not always present) in MGS occultations. Recent MGS occultations have SNR ~50 dB, so the MEX signal is similar to MGS despite the higher transmitter power on the spacecraft. This recording looks very much like the ones from days 098-099.

Dick, does it mean that you covered this occultation at DSS65?

When it is DSS65 finally, why is there only X-band? Accord spike a few seconds before the
