[amsat-bb] ARRISSat-1 Report and Thanks

[Nitin Muttin]

It was a great pleasure to watch the deployment of the ARRISSat-1 from the
ISS on NASA TV.  On behalf of AMSAT INDIA I would like to thank all at AMSAT
, ARRISSat project team for enabling this capability for the Amateur Radio
fraternity. I was able to hear the signals on 145.950 during the 03:57 UTC
on 08/5/2011 over India and decoded a SSTV image and heard the CW on 145.919
but was unable to decode the telemetry using ARISSATLM application. Will try
again to decode the telemetry and also the linear transponder. Many Radio
Hams in Bangalore have reported hearing the signals on 145.950.
