Hi.
 
Received good signals from DelfiC3 tonight in IO91TK  15km west of  London.  
Nice to hear another satellite on 2m. Just love that low path  loss!
 
145.930   
IC706  + 10m RG58 to roof mounted vertical. No pre-amp.  Signals  18dB above 
noise.
Nominal distance to satellite 1400km
 
The signal abruptly disappeared at 19:45 and 5 seconds. ( Command  from 
ground station?) This was not the usual transistion as a satellite pases  over the 
horizon
 
Anyway, strong signals so very good news.
 
Well done Delft University of Technology.
