[amsat-bb] Pratham: IITB Student Satellite

[Aayush Yadav]

Thank you all so much for such prompt replies!! I am happy to say that we
have recieved news of beacon reception from various sources and this can
confidently say that the satellite is active an finctioning! Though we
havent been able to hear anything on our ground station but are trying
regularly for the same. We request you all to kindly keep tracking our
satellite and if possible try receiving the downlonk telemetry with the
following specs:

Modulation: FSK
Frequency: 437.455 MHz
Transmitted power: 60 mW
To be switched on over India and France

Please do reply to us if you receive anything. We really appreciate all
your help. Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,
Team Pratham.
