[amsat-bb] RadFxSat Launch Countdown, Telemetry Reception Challenge

[Paul Stoetzer]

We're now less than 20 hours before the RadFxSat launch!

The first amateur radio operator that successfully receives RadFxSat
(Fox-1B) telemetry and uploads it to the AMSAT server will receive a
commemorative 3D printed QSL card.

RadFxSat is scheduled for launch at 1:47am PST (09:47 UTC) on Tuesday,
November 14th from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The first
transmission from RadFxSat is expected to occur around 12:07 UTC. Due
to a lack of prelaunch Keplerian elements, it is not known exactly
where the satellite will be when it makes it's first transmission.

of RadFxSat operations, please see
