Weak signals from FASTRAC-1, could hear the 1k2 AFSK beacon every 3 min but
not decode.
No 9k6 signal anymore.

Betreff: [amsat-bb] FASTRAC Updates!

I want to thank everybody that has helped us track FASTRAC as we have gotten
confirmation from multiple sources that they are both working beaconing and
that the satellites are crosslinking.  We were also able to hear a couple of
beacons at our station this morning and will attempt to contact them again
this afternoon on our next pass.

Thanks a lot, 73,
