Tuning HuskySat-1 telemetry signal
by k.swaggart＠charter.net 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Last night I didn't have any success decoding HuskySat-1's telemetry even though the signal was very strong. Thought today I might try using SpecTran to help position the USB signal for decoding. What audio frequency should I use? Approx 200 Hz? 73, Ken, W7KKE

[Video] my audio recording of HuskySat-1

Here is a little video I made about my reception of the beacon. I heard its first active pass over North America and in this video I play back the recording as well as simulate the pass in Orbitron sat tracking software.. https://youtu.be/Ddge6CvOk0s 73, John Brier KG4AKV

Re: [amsat-bb] Frequencies for HuskySat-1?
by Roy Dean 01 Feb '20

Nice - I scored a fair amount of frames while manually tuning for doppler. Award for the scariest sounding telemetry downlink! That noise is the stuff nightmares are made of! Congrats to the AMSAT and Husky engineering teams for getting this far, and I hope everything continues to go well! --Roy K3RLD

It appears that HuskySat-1 is alive, and I'm thinking it's about 5 minutes behind the ISS. --Roy K3RLD
