I am looking for the "easy way out" here.
I've loaded up the current Celestrak keps
for the new satellites. Names have now been
assigned to KKS-1 and PRISM (amongst
others).
Several days ago I was copying KKS-1 and
PRISM with significant separation in time.
Suddenly the new keps have them orbiting
much closer. Since I copy in FM I have to
translate a recorded signal on audio software.
This morning I copied (per the new keps) what
I thought was KKS-1 and then switched over to
PRISM. I experienced "fading" on both birds.
Later "translation" of the first CW signals revealed the
following:
609/01/2403:17:00
609/01/2403:17:00
609/01/2403:17:00
,,,,, etc etc.
This data does not resemble previous KKS-1
beacons I have copied although the time and
freq. appears very close to the new KEPS.
Certainly, I will continue to investigate but perhaps
someone already knows the answer/s??
Mahalo for your kokua (Thanks for your help)
Respectfully,
