Here are 3 packets decoded by Mike, DK3WN: 2009-07-31 13:19:31.750 UTC: from POLLUX-1 to CQ via TELEM:> MEMS 2009-07-31 13:19:58.270 UTC: from POLLUX-1 to CQ via TELEM:> SYST 2009-07-31 13:20:37.730 UTC: from POLLUX-1 to CQ via TELEM:> MEMS Based on these I conclude the following transmission periods: MEMS > SYST: 27 seconds (58-31) SYST > MEMS: 39 seconds (37-58) Total: 27 + 39 = 66 seconds for a complete package (the 33 seconds is an average therefore) This corresponds with my audio analysis, which btw also shows Castors 30 seconds period: http://www.pa3guo.com/ande2_periods_31jul09.jpg (you see in the spectrum the various packets from Castor & Pollux) Henk, PA3GUO http://www.pa3guo.com

All, I heard AggieSat-2 in all passes but weak signal - periodic bursts every 20 seconds. No information about modulation from the team :-( Nothing heard from BEVO-1. 73, Mike DK3WN
