Heard Voice over NJ 66 degree pass 13:01 pass. Signal level low. Hopefully, when deployed, the higher tx power will work- Listened on my VHF base and it was weak on the vertical antenna. Will wait for the deployment for actual signal conditions for the "listeners!" 73, Dee, NB2F Dee Interdonato 118 Westervelt Place Lodi, NJ 07644 973-772-8229

ARISSAT-1 Heard in VE9
by Bruce Robertson 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

>From the east coast of Canada, heard all components of the ARISSAT-1 signal (CW, BPSK, SSTV, FM voice) in the passes beginning at the following times: 05:00, 08:12, 09:50, 11:25Z These were recorded overnight with a FCD using a set LO frequency of 145,910 kHz. This ensured that all telemetry was recorded (but clear of the centre spike), and FM was recorded well, except at the very early part of passes, when it might be expected to be lost in noise anyway (I have an omni antenna). Hooray for the hard work and cooperation that has led to this ARISSAT-1 success, and hooray for the FCD! 73, Bruce VE9QRP -- http://ve9qrp.blogspot.com
