[amsat-bb] Re: TurkSat and CubeBug heard

CubeBug-1 Heard on the 12:20UTC pass again.

Hi All,

CubeBug-1 has been heard here again on the 12:20 UTC pass. Its modulation
is AFSK 1200bd but seems to be lacking deviation.A recording can be found
on
http://pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/CubeBug-1t-26-04-2013_1220UTC_PA3WEG.mp3

The beacon should be on every 30s or 10s. The observed period was 30s.

Possibly, a low deviation FM RX can retrieve the signal.
