[amsat-bb] Re: It only takes a Dongle + Antenna to hear NanoSail-D2

OK Henk, you sold me the idea.
 
I see there is a pass at  1650 and 1850 ish this evening in  Europe.   I'll 
give it a try and perhaps get that rare QSL from  NASA.

As can be seen in  this HD Video it only takes a FUNcubeDongle 
plus a 12 elements beam to  hear & decode Nanosail-D2 !

Adding the control software of Mike  & Mike, plus WRplus and MixW
you have a ground station that can support  small satellite missions.
