[amsat-bb] Chinese Lunar sats

[Nico Janssen]

After their launch on 2018-05-20 at 21:28 UTC, LJ 1 and LJ 2 were
maneuvered onto a track to the Moon. Several amateurs received
telemetry from the satellites. But now LJ 1 appears to encounter
problems.

Quoting Wei BG2BHC:
"Can you help to find amateurs in the US to help to monitor DSLWP-A
on 435.425 and 436.425 now?
We lost the contact of satellite A on S band after an orbit adjustment.
We just tried to switch on UHF, but we don't know if it works or not.
The sat is just above South America.
If it works, 435.425 should be 500bps GMSK and JT4 alternately.
436.425 should be 250 bps GMSK.  Bothtransmit once in 5 minutes.

Thank you very much!

Wei"
