Triggered by the discussions on HF satellites ...
I did give RS-15 a try this morning and yes, I could hear it ! Still very weak during a 45 degrees elevation pass. The next pass was higher, but then I didn't hear anything.
Click here for a screen shot, you will see the recorded signal of RS-15. http://www.pa3guo.com/rs15_beacon_pa3guo_07june2009_0812utc.jpg
My set-up is really marginal: just a TS2000 connected to a simple 14MHz dipol.
... then: I came across this website, very nice ! http://www.newearth.demon.co.uk/sat/rs15-bbc.htm
