[amsat-bb] XW1 heard in Holland, keppler comment, and audio recording.

[Cor]

Hello All,

I have heard XW1 sat. with a fine signal.
I've used the folowing kepler data which Mineo Wakita earlier posted
in amsat-bb (please read the comment below!).
1 36121U 09072A   09349.15640464 -.00000045  00000-0  00000+0 0    19
2 36121 100.5046 046.2483 0006436 232.0630 127.9902 13.18995687    00
Keep in mind these keppler data are not accurate because I've heard
XW1  3 minutes longer compared to keppler XW1 LOS on my tracker screen!
Last signal (on my radio) heard at 22:24UTC in locator JO23XE.
Used equipment:
Transceiver: Yaesu FT897 with standard ceramic CW filter and 300Hz inrad filter.
Antenna: M2   436CP30 (45 deg. fixed elevation, I can not move up or down!).

An audio recording is to listen here:

An amateur radio operator in Holland (Jan PDØSDO) also could hear the XW1 on
an little GP antenna (about 60cm length).

Congratulations to all who have worked on the XW1 sat!
