It has a\ncomposite VHF downlink that will easily fit into the FUNcube Dongle\nreceive spectrum. The telemetry is 1000 bps BPSK and can, of course,\nalso be received with a normal SSB 2 metre receiver.\n\nThe expected signal levels from ARISSat should be similar to those we\nexpect from FUNcube itself (and also eventually from UKube) and the\nteam are keen to discover what will be the minimum and best type of\nantennas for schools to use with a FCD. Therefore user experience with\nthe ARISSat signals will be very valuable in making this determination.\n\nTo encourage everyone to receive ARISSat signals we are offering a FUN\nreward for listeners!\n\nThere are a number of categories for this challenge including:\n\n1. The first FCD user, from each continent, who can post a spectrum\n    recording of the received signal together with evidence of decoding\n    the data using the ARISSat software and of sending it to the ARISSat\n    data warehouse.\n\n2. The first non-FCD user, from each continent, who can provide evidence\n    of having decoded the signals and of sending it to the ARISSat data\n    warehouse.\n\n3. The listener, using a FCD or not, who can demonstrate satisfactory\n    reception of the telemetry in the same ways as described above, \nusing\n    the \"smallest\" possible receive antenna. The actual closing date for\n    this part of the challenge will be announced later.\n\n4.
