[amsat-bb] Fwd: Re: Fwd: [Tracking] PhoneSat launch April 17th! 437.425MHz

[Samudra Haque]

Hello AMSAT community

some hams have requested information about the upcoming Phonesat mission
telemetry format. This is a challenging objective for those who can track
and monitor: there are 3 satellites being deployed from the same P-POD and
will be released within moments of each other. The systems are timed to not
overlap individual station transmissions, so in a single pass, all three
should be heard.

For any technical questions, please contact the POC, Oriol Tintore of
Phonesat. His contact info is below.
