[amsat-bb] CAMSAT- CAS-2T

Hi everybody.

Earlier this evening the East Coast USA pass went right over me.  I included 
a couple of images (both FM & CW) and my best guess at the CW decode in a 
tweet:

... and there is also a link to the CW audio in there if anyone would like 
to know what to listen for.  The CW beacon plays the sequence in my decode, 
pauses for a few seconds, and starts over again.   So, in a good pass you'll 
get multiple shots at it should the signal fade.

73!

Ken,

I agree with your findings.

On the 00:15 utc pass over USA, I copied strong CW beacon.  Copied
"CAMSAT CAMSAT CAS2T FT FT T T T T T T".

The FM transponder only returnes a fluttering sound when keyed.

Looks like the TLE's for 2016-066E are a usable match.  Can't say for
sure since 2016-66F was over top of 66E on this pass.

Hi,
Using the reference for CAMSAT as suggested by Mike as 2016 -66 E -  I
heard  the beacon at 1744 hrs GMT on a high pass. -  down link frequency
435.712.190 Mhz.
It was very strong - I heard some noises on the transponder downlink but
don't know what it was.
