[amsat-bb] Yubileiny RS-30 CW beacon

[Hans (BX2ABT)]

Hello Hugh and Jean-Pierre,

Thanks for pointing out SatNOGS to me. I'm new to sats and didn't 
realize that SatNOGS had this capability. I'll check it out.

So it seems RS-30 is dead. I checked the SatNOGS recordings, but I 
couldn't detect any CW. A pity, 'cause back in 2009 it was one of the 
first sat signals I received on my HT with a simple antenna.

I asked this question before on this list, but what other sats do have 
reliable and reasonably strong beacons (in morse code)? Any suggestions 
are welcome. Cheers.
