Subject: [amsat-bb] CAPE-2 heard in France

   Dear friends from University of loisiana in Lafayette,

   Your bird was heard in the North of France when flying over Oran
(Algeria), orbit number 204, especially the CW beacon (on 145.823 MHz +-
Doppler) between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 UTC, content was "EUL CAPE 2 OR
UF231". The signal was somewhat chirpy, but it's exactly the sound which the
real lover of CW like above all. Really !  :-)

   The signal to noise ratio is not too good because I'm using an old AM/FM
scanner from the 80s heterodyned by my medium wave homebrew transmitter
fitted with a 456.9 Xtal. The antenna was a vertical half-wave inside the
attic.

   The next orbit, number 205, was heard too, with the CW beacon affected at
that time by a hoarse voice and suffering from a strong fadding. So I'm not
absolutly sure, poor lonesome telegraphist, of my human decoding, "M5UL CAPE
2 ÜR 5045", something like that. It was over the East coast of Spain,
between 12:12:52 and 12:13:06 :
