[amsat-bb] Fwd: Beaconsats

[Shamai Opfer]

Hi,
DUCHIFAT-1 has a short CW beacon every 1 minute on 145.980 (saying "hi de
duchifat"), and a BPSK 1200bd telemetry every 20 sec.
I found out that passes above 50-60 deg elevation can be heard with just a
handy and its original rubber ducky antenna, such as the Kenwood TH-F6.

good luck!

Tom,

LU-19 has only a boring carrier, but it is strong and reliable.

<Aside from HO-68 which has a rather strong beacon CW signal, and UKube-1,
<EO-79, does anyone have any suggestions for satellites with relatively
<strong beacon signals of any kind that would make good "Track the Sat"
demos
