[amsat-bb] SEEDS over West Malaysia

[Sion Chow Q. C. (9W2QC)]

Dear All,

 

Finally managed to copy some signals from SEEDS this evening (29th April
2008) after missing it this morning.  Some CW telemetry decoded by myself
are as follows:

 

Time:2248 Hours Local/1448 Hours UTC

Max Elevation: 57 degree

Also tried to listen to the other satellites during the first pass but did
not manage to hear anything else.  Listened briefly for Cute-1.7+APDII on
the second pass but did not hear anything.  Concentrated on SEEDS as it was
very loud and also I was operating from out of the shack via VNC/Teamspeak
and did not want to mess things up.

 

For both passes, object C keps were used.  Signals were strong with
occasional QSB.  Equipment used was IC-910H, 2x15 Element vertically
polarized yagi with SP-7000 preamp.  Due to my poor CW copying skills, I
will post a recording of both passes shortly in case I copied some letters
wrongly.
