I've ran several passes today on AO-27 and AO-51 with the FunCube Dongle (FCD) as my receiver. I'm also using Mike, DK3WN's Funcube Dongle Doppler correction program.
Below are two links to a couple of screen shots. The first is WRPlus, the software I use with the FCD (there are others). You can see the AO-51 downlink clearly. This was a 15 degree pass from here in Vermont, FN34im.

The second screen shot is the software running behind WRPlus. Top left is the FCD Tuning Program. It's partially covered by SATPC32 in the upper right. In the lower right is the FCD Doppler correction program sending frequency correction to the FCD tuning program.

I need more screens and a better video card.
Thanks for those who contacted me. If I sound a bit distracted at first it was becasue the first time I keyed up, I forgot that when I heard my downlink it would be delayed significantly due to the DSP processing of the FCD. The delay reminded me of working HEO!
