[amsat-bb] Re: TurkSat and CubeBug heard

[Wouter Weggelaar]

Last recording for me today:
http://www.pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/CubeBug-1-26-04-2013_1040UTC_PA3WEG.mp3
On the second orbit I was listening in SSB and captured the AFSK beacon.

Just got the confirmation from the CubeBug-1 team I was the first confirmed
RX ;)
