Hello Mark and other folks,

 

I used the object F.  I had to calibrate the automatic Doppler correction
two times on the pass but AOS and LOS times were quite accurate.

 

I will try to decode the next pass.

 

73!

Congrats, Hector.

I printed several STRaND-1 packets and need to figure out what to do with
them ;)

Which TLEs did you use?  Based on timestamps and scrolling time back in
SatPC32, it looks to me like the bird might be behind the pre-launch keps
I'm using.  Meaning, I see packets time stamped at the predicted LOS.  I was
NOT in the shack, but that's my guess based on time stamps.

73,

Hello All

On the 22:36 UTC pass both STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 have been heard in
Cienfuegos city (EL92sd). I was running a FUNcube Dongle with SDR-Radio V1.5
and a homebrew ARROW antenna with a homebrew preamplifier. The STRaND-1
beacon has a great signal (S9+).

Congratulations to the STRaND-1 and AAUSAT3 teams for the great job!

73!
