ARISSat-1 - 0938 UTC - Telem and FM Voice
by Clint Bradford 31 Jul '11

OK, call me old and sentimental ... But that was one of the most exciting pre-recorded missives I have heard in my 50+ years ... I got too excited to see if it was on 145.920 or 145.950 or 437.550 - sorry. And a strong telemetry signal was heard after the kid's message. Clint Bradford, DM-13

ARISSat over UK - 08.24utc Pass
by David Barber 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

UK Pass 08.24utc. Low pass for me (20dg max) and in a very poor, obstructed direction. Evidence of a signal on 145.950MHz but way too weak to copy. Three very brief bursts of SSTV heard on 437.550Mhz but sounded incomplete. CW/Telemetry frequency not checked. David G8OQW ********
